Description

Eight bronze objects stand side by side in an upright row, photographed against a plain grey background. The four on the left are long, narrow, pointed blades, and the others have tangs or handles, some with a rounded top and one with a perforated tang. Their surfaces are rough and encrusted with corrosion, and the smallest object is shorter and stubbier than the rest.
