Head of an Ancus
The object is a long, dark-colored metal piece with a curved section on the left side. The curved section resembles a hook or a crescent shape, with a decorative edge. Attached to the curved section is a long, thin handle with a tapered end pointing upwards. The handle features various designs and patterns etched into it. A small metal loop is attached to the handle, from which a small, dark-colored tag hangs. The background of the image is a plain light gray color. The object appears to be an "Ancus" by the artist Head.
