Miniature Trident with Naga
The object is a gray, metal trident with a base and a creature protruding from one side. The trident has three prongs at the top, the middle prong being the tallest and widest and resembling a leaf. The prongs on either side are narrower and more pointed. The prongs are attached to a short stem that tapers down into a thicker section with a decorative design. Below this section is a series of stacked, flat discs that form the main body of the trident. The base of the trident is a flat plate supported by three legs. A creature resembling a dragon or serpent protrudes from the left side of the base, its head facing to the left. The background is black at the top and fades to white at the bottom. The image appears to be a product or artifact photo. The title of the image is "Miniature Trident with Naga".
