Description

A long, narrow, heavily corroded metal object stands upright on a grey mounted card. Its surface is rough and crusted with pitting and small holes, and it is broader at the top and narrows toward the bottom, where one edge is broken. The mount has a plain border, and handwritten notes are partly visible along the bottom edge.

Description, scan 2
A single long, narrow corroded iron object, photographed upright against a plain grey backdrop. Its surface is rough and pitted with dark patches and crusted, uneven edges. The upper end is broken and irregular, and the lower end narrows and is also uneven, so it looks like a blade or implement fragment.
