Description

Four long, leaf-shaped metal blades stand upright in a row against a plain grey background. Each has a narrow tang that curls into a hook at the top and tapers to a point at the base of the blade. The blades differ slightly in width and edge condition: the third from the left has a chipped, uneven edge, and the rightmost is the broadest with a dark central ridge.
