Description, scan 2: A single open ring with a gap at the top, made of thick rod with slightly uneven, thickened ends. Its surface is dark and pitted, and it lies on a pale grey card. Below it a black strip holds a small pin or tag.
Description, scan 3: A single ring of dark, slightly pitted metal, formed as an open circle whose two ends taper and nearly meet at the top. It lies against a pale background on a light card mount, photographed from above. The surface looks uneven and corroded, with small pale flecks along its edge.
Description, scan 4: Several corroded rings, some open and some closed, are arranged in three rows on a pale grey background. A lumpy, encrusted mass sits at top centre, and a bent pin with a small loop at one end lies across the bottom panel. A black scale bar appears at the upper right, and the surfaces look dark and pitted rather than bright.
Description, scan 5: A single open ring with a thick, rounded section, its surface dark and pitted with patches of lighter corrosion. One end is jagged and broken, and the other end is cut off more squarely. It lies on a plain grey background with a soft shadow at the right edge.
Description, scan 6: A single curved metal object, rough and dark with corrosion, shown against a pale grey background. It has a small round loop at its right end with a short knob beyond it, and the left end is blunt. A handwritten blue number label sits below the curve.
Description, scan 7: Two rings lie side by side on a pale grey background. The left ring is open, with one end overlapping the body of the ring, and the right ring is closed. Both have rough, pitted surfaces and a fairly even thickness, and handwritten notes run along the bottom edge of the mount.
Description, scan 8: A single open ring of dark, corroded metal with a pale, crusted surface and both ends broken off. It is shown in close view on a plain grey background, with a blurred dark shadow at the right edge. The print is mounted on a pale card border.
