A wooden shaft features a long, slender cylindrical form that tapers to a rounded point at its base. The muted brown surface displays a weathered texture with visible grain and dark staining near the center. A horizontal indentation marks the midpoint, separating the upper half from the lower portion. The top is blunt and rounded, while the lower section narrows gradually, emphasizing the object's aged, hand-hewn appearance.
