A fragmented wood carving of a cross arm features a weathered, dark-brown surface. A long, tapered section on the left contains a small circular hole and ends in a broken edge. The central square section is incised with a deep "X," with a hole in the lower quadrant. To the right, a shorter tapered section includes a final hole, terminating in a rough, splintered break.
