Abstract

Slender solid metal cylindrical object has a spherical head atop the shaft. The shaft tapers to a sharp point at the other end. The shaft is pierced by a bore 4.0 cm. below the head. The shaft is swollen to support the sides of the bore. White corrosion on the head may indicate the presence of lead.
