Description

A broken, tapering tubular object with raised ridges running along its length lies on a dark surface. Its pale, encrusted surface is chipped and broken at the right end, where a second fragment sits behind it. A folding ruler marked in centimetres and inches lies along the bottom of the frame to give scale.
