Description

A photograph of a rough, weathered block of wood with cracked, flaking bark-like surfaces and a hole cut through one end. A thick twisted rope is wound around the middle and knotted at the bottom, and a thin cord runs across the top. The object sits on a pale backdrop and casts a soft shadow to the right.
