Thank you for viewing. This is an iron object. It has a substantial weight. Tools such as axes, hammers, and shovels can be hung on it. I purchased it at a flea market. There is some rust, but isn't that part of its charm? Because the object itself is heavy, it needs to be secured with nails or similar when hanging on a wall. I think it would look great displayed in a garden. Please purchase if you understand the condition.
