Steel forceps.

A metal instrument with elongated looped handles and curved hook-like tips is displayed against a light background. The device has two large finger loops that extend into a central joint with a small adjustment screw. At the opposite end, two slender arms curve outward into small hooked ends. The metal surface appears darkened with signs of wear.
