The artifact is an urn, made of a smooth, black, polished obsidian. Embedded into the urn are four scenes depicted two male figures dressed in Sith garb. the first scene depicts one figure stealing an cylindrical object, speculated to be a light-saber or a holocron, from the other. The next scene depicts the sith who was stolen from laying a trap for the thief, preparing a pit for him to fall into. the third scene depicts the execution of the trap, with the thief being successfully lured into the pit. The fourth depicts the pit being set on fire, and the thief presumably burned alive. An inscription around the rim of the urn reads the following in the Old Tongue

Like a starving cat
You stalk what was mine by right
Steal away at night

The quiet spider
Sets a trap for its victim
Spinning silently

A crack of thunder
The trap is sprung, the thief caught
He struggles futilely

The Flames punish him
Till naught but grey ash remains
A resting place, here.

The form is a series of four haikus.
