Small, weathered obelisk with no visible inscriptions.
The artifact is a small, tapered obelisk displaying signs of aging and wear. The surface is predominantly a muted green color, possibly due to patination over time. There is a central panel that appears somewhat smoothed or eroded, and while it may once have held inscriptions, none are clearly visible due to the object's condition. The piece has a simplistic style, devoid of any detailed carvings or decorations that are discernible.
