Description

A dark, ring-shaped object with a rough, uneven outer edge fills the centre of the picture against a pale grey ground. Two more dark rings are cut off along the top edge of the frame. The print sits on a cream card border, and the object's interior shows little detail, with the background looking washed out.

Description, scan 2
Several metal finds are laid out on a pale ground. At top left is a large open ring with a thick, dark edge, and near the top centre are two small curved hooked pieces and a smaller ring with a broken rim. In the middle lies a long dark blade-like object broken into two pieces, and at the bottom is a corroded, elongated fragment with light encrusted patches.
Description, scan 3
A single thick ring with a rough, slightly uneven dark surface and a small notch near the top, shown centred on a plain grey card. The card sits within a light border, and the ring fills most of the frame with a small cast shadow at its edge.
Description, scan 4
Two pieces of dark, corroded metal are shown one above the other against a plain grey background. The upper piece is a narrow bar with squared ends and a rough, pitted surface; the lower piece is a curved, flattened fragment with a thinner edge. The two pieces appear to be a single broken object.
