John writes:
This aesthetic piece of shrapnel clearly exhibits evidence of a violent fragmentation. The twisted, torn, bent, and irregular faces on this piece with its sharp jagged edges make it intriguing from virtually any angle or orientation. A remarkable example not often found in this amazing shape
