Description and lore
A scorpion barb supplies a sharp biological specimen for venom preparations.
The barb curves toward a fine point above a narrow base. A collector brushes away the desert grit before transferring it to a clean dish.
A stoppered preparation vessel stands apart from travelling food. The preparer gathers the remaining pieces before cleaning the shallow specimen dish.
