These appear to be untapered and without distictive handles.  Therefore 
you could blazon it as a Billet [a vertical rectangle, possibly a bit 
short and squat for an actual rolling pin] or possibly as a Pale or Fess 
Couped [vertical or horizontal stripe extending most of the way from end 
to end of the field, cut at the ends to form a longer rectangle].
