Slender reddish wooden object with a pointed top, hooked curved bottom and faint engraved script, lying diagonally on a plain grey background.

Wooden tool with engraved script on grey background

A slender wooden object lies diagonally on a plain grey background, its surface showing warm reddish-orange grain. One end tapers to a point, the other curves into a hooked tip, and small holes pierce each end; faint engraved script runs along the length. Nothing here resembles a printed anatomical chart.
