A bronze implement, aged with a heavy reddish-brown and dark brown crust, forms an open circular arc. The thin, pitted band curves inward at the top. Below, the form widens into a vertical base punctuated by two rounded protrusions that evoke a stylized face. The surface is heavily encrusted and matte, showing significant wear and pitting across its ancient, corroded exterior.
