Curved flat metal strip on a pale background

A long, flat, dark gray strip curves gently across a pale background, tapering to a point at both ends. Two small rectangular holes sit near the ends, and faint marks and scuffs show on its surface. The object is photographed alone with soft shadow, with no printed figures or colour lithography visible.
