Description

A single dark, corroded metal object with an elongated, flat form that narrows slightly toward the top. Its ends are broken and uneven, and pale crusty patches and small light marks cover the surface, forming a loose pattern down the centre. It is photographed upright on a plain grey backdrop, with no scale or label visible.
