A silver skewer, long and slender, tapers from a flat, octagonal ring at the top to a sharp base. Directly below the ring, an engraved cursive monogram of the letters ML sits on the polished metal. The shaft maintains a consistent width before narrowing to a fine tip. The silver surface is smooth and reflective, accentuating the tool's vertical, elongated form and simple functional elegance.
