St. Joseph Museums

The image depicts an old, weathered wooden object with a curved, tapering shape resembling a partial tusk or horn, characterized by a dark brown color that transitions to a lighter brown towards the tip. The surface shows signs of wear, along with a blackened patina, indicating age or exposure to elements. A small white tag with handwritten text is attached to the pointed end via a thin string, suggesting cataloging or identification. Adjacent to the object, a metal ruler is positioned horizontally, measuring approximately 15 centimeters, providing a scale reference for the object's size. The background is a plain gray surface, highlighting the object's texture and form.
