Description

Two long metal objects with domed, mushroom-like heads stand upright on a dark background. The left one is darker and thinner, with a swelling on its shaft, and the right one is paler, with a constriction and a crack near its lower end. Each has a round white tag hung on a pin above its head, and the print is mounted on a cream card with a pale strip along the bottom edge.
