Description

Two photographs are mounted on a pale card. The larger strip on the right shows three corroded iron objects laid end to end: a long, thick piece at the top, a narrower rod in the middle and a short fragment at the bottom, with rough, pitted, flaking surfaces. On the left, a smaller photograph shows a slender dark object, and handwritten numbers are written on the card beside it.

Description, scan 2
Three corroded iron objects lie in a vertical row on a pale grey mount. The uppermost is the longest and broadest, with a rough, pitted surface and a slot or hole near its upper end. The middle one is thinner and tapers at its lower end, and the lowest is short and slightly curved, with its tip broken away.
