A partially charred corn cob rests on a patch of green grass and dark soil in Bischheim, France. The majority of the cob, from the top downward, is completely blackened and appears shriveled or burnt, with individual kernels fused and distorted by heat. The lower portion of the cob, approximately one-third of its length, is intact, displaying its natural yellowish-orange color and white, fibrous core where some kernels are missing or damaged. No individuals or specific actions are depicted. The environment is outdoor, natural ground cover.
