A muted gray metal fingernail protector tapers into a long, narrow cone with a matte finish. Scrolling vines and cut-out five-petaled flowers wrap around the upper portion. At the wider base, a decorative band contains repeating circular patterns with square holes at their centers, set within wavy borders. The object ends in a rounded point.
