Photograph of a small wooden object resembling a long implement or stick, with a cord tied around one section.

The image shows two long, narrow wooden sticks placed parallel/overlapping, forming a flattened, elongated object with pointed ends. A bundle of light-colored fibrous cord (possibly linen string) is wrapped and tied around the middle-left area, with loose cord ends extending outward. No painted decoration, carved surface detail, or legible hieroglyphs are visible on the wood in this photograph. The background appears to be a light museum display surface.
