Hilt, Perhaps from a Dance Wand
The object is a dark gray, possibly metallic, hilt with intricate designs on both sides. Two identical shaped parts are positioned side by side, touching at their centers, with a gap between them. The parts are shaped like elongated teardrops with the pointed ends facing up. They have a wavy edge and are decorated with raised dots and swirling patterns. A rounded rectangular shape is on the top with a flat base. A cylindrical object protrudes from the bottom. The background is a plain light gray color. The hilt is titled "Hilt, Perhaps from a Dance Wand" by an unknown artist.
