DescriptionThis object has two components. The first is the base. Because it is black and a disk, the base resembles a hockey puck. However, the base is flatter and broader than a hockey puck, and its edges are rounded. The second component, emerging from the center of the base is a black hook. The hook maintains a constant thickness throughout, and ends flat, with abrupt edges.
