A small, dark-metal artifact shaped like a slender handle topped with a flattened, leaf-like end, resembling a spoon or stick with a crude bowl-like section.
The image shows a single object photographed against a light gray textured background. The artifact is mostly a long, narrow shaft that tapers slightly toward the top. At the upper end is a broader, flattened, teardrop/leaf-shaped section that could correspond to a crudely flattened bowl. The surface appears dark brown to black with signs of corrosion/patina; fine details are limited due to resolution and lighting. No clearly carved figurative elements, hieroglyphs, or other inscriptions are visible. No cartouches or royal names are apparent. The overall form matches a small metal implement such as the catalogued “Spoon or Stick with Slender Handle and Crudely Flattened Bowl.”
