The image shows a curved, hollowed-out brown object resembling an animal horn.

The object has a dark brown cap on the right end, and a small metal point protrudes from the top center of the cap. The left end is wrapped with a brown cord-like material. Two black letters, "D H", are painted on the side of the object. The object has visible scratches and marks on its surface, and the background is plain white.
