The image shows a simple outline. It consists of a long vertical line with rounded edges at the top, connecting to a horizontal rectangular shape at the bottom. This creates an abstract form resembling a tall street lamp or a minimalistic silhouette of a sword with a handle. The design has clean lines and is labeled with "1/2 size" under the rectangular base.
