Two dark, tapered iron legs join at a circular pivot, descending to sharp points. A horizontal threaded rod pierces the midsection, secured by two brass fasteners. Elaborate brass plates with heart-shaped cutouts extend from each end of the rod, their golden hue contrasting the weathered, dark-brown iron. The instrument stands in a wide triangular pose, combining functional geometric lines with decorative scrollwork.
