Ancus

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a dark brown, possibly iron, tool with a long handle and a hook-like end. The hook-like end curves to the left and has a sharp point at the top. A small piece of string or twine and a small metal piece are tied to the hook. The tool is centered in the image and appears to be against a plain gray background. The image is likely of "Ancus" by an unlisted artist.
