Bronze/copper-alloy implement with a U-shaped end, shown in profile against a neutral background. A small circular rivet/fixture is visible on the face near the end, along with faint surface marks resembling corrosion.
The image shows a single, elongated Egyptian-style metal implement, likely cast or formed from a copper alloy. One end is broader and open, shaped like a shallow U or hook; the opposite end narrows slightly and appears rounded/flat. The surface is heavily patinated with green and dark brown corrosion products. Near the broader end, there is a distinct small circular hole or recess (possibly for a rivet or for attachment). No clear tool inscription, hieroglyphic text, cartouches, or decorative iconography are visible on the metal surface in this photograph. No identifiable royal names or deities are depicted.
