Material

DescriptionA rusted metal burner with a round lead base that has a connecting tube for a gas source at the bottom, with the gas rising on a tube that forks into two and then connects to a horizontal ring with a square cross section that has many small holes on its inner surface. Before forking, the vertical tube holds what remains of a stand that is clamped to it with a metal screw and now consists of two wires (out of three), each rising slightly above the ring and then wrapping around itself before resting on the ring in a rather haphazard way.

The base is marked "ESC".
