Description/Exam

A rinkhal's preserved head has been melded with a lacquered and twisted branch
of blackwood. Curved fangs, and keeled scales adorn the snake's head with its
jaws set open as if about to strike. The bottom of the wooden shaft has been
capped with a thick sphere of metal, useful for ploughing and digging out dirt.
