Description

A C-shaped object with a rough, pitted grey surface and two tapering ends curls across the frame. It is photographed alone on a plain pale ground, with a few small specks visible on the backing. The photo is mounted on a card with a border, and the object's form suggests a bent piece of jewellery, though this cannot be confirmed from the image.
