Its shape seemed oddly specific, clearly designed for a purpose that wasn’t immediately obvious. The longer it was examined, the more questions arose: Who made it? Why was it shaped this way? And what role did it once play in everyday life? That single object sparked curiosity and a deeper appreciation for tools from a time when practicality and creativity went hand in hand.
