Here is a description of the image:

The image shows a dark brown, metallic object laying horizontally against a plain white background. The object appears to be a tool, possibly a pestle or part of a similar type of device. It features a cylindrical shape with bulbous ends, connected by a narrower section in the middle. The surface of the object has a textured, rough appearance, with some green patina visible on one of the bulbous ends, suggesting aging or oxidation. The object is well-lit, casting a subtle shadow on the background.

Here is a description of the image:

The image shows a close-up of a pestle, which is a tool used with a mortar for grinding substances. The pestle is made of a dark, possibly bronze or brass, material. It has an elongated shape with a central, slightly thicker cylindrical section, that connects to two bulbous ends. The ends are rounded and show signs of wear and age, with some areas showing a green patina, suggesting oxidation. The surface of the pestle has a textured appearance. It appears to be resting on a light-colored, possibly white, surface, creating a clean backdrop.
