Dark brown arm guard by artist Arm Guard. Elongated and narrow object with a tapered end on the left and a circular opening on the right. The object features a series of vertical grooves running along its length, with a decorative eye-like design at the tapered end. The surface appears worn and weathered, with visible signs of aging and use. The background is plain white.
