Five pronged metal implement used for fishing or catching eels, three central prongs are set at 180 degree angle to two outer prongs, there is a socket presumably for the attachment of a wooden handle. Each prong has a triangular point at the tip, the two outer prongs have only half a triangular tip facing inwards, appears to be original feature.
