A dark, irregular shape with pale patches and a bluish tint on its right side fills the centre of a white card cut to a rounded, uneven outline. The surface is mottled and grainy, and no rings, pins or pendants can be made out. The card lies on a pale cream background.

A thick ring with an open gap at the top, its surface rough and mottled with darker patches and worn edges. It is shown alone in a close view on a white card with a pale border. A small number label sits in the bottom right corner of the card.
Description, scan 5
A single piece of jewellery photographed close up on a pale ground: a thick band or wire coiled into an open spiral, with a hook-like end at the upper right. Its surface is rough and pitted with dark patches, and the central opening shows the light background. The print is mounted on a pale card with a wide border.
Description, scan 6
Several small pieces of jewellery lie spread across a plain grey surface. A flat disc at lower left has a raised flower pattern of petals and a scalloped edge. A long bent wire loop, a smaller hooked wire and a central wire with coiled spiral ends lie among domed, knobbed fragments, with a twisted wire ring at lower right.
Description, scan 7
A single small circular object lies on a cream card background. Its pale, flat centre is framed by a dark, twisted band that forms a ring around the edge, resembling braided wire. The outline is slightly irregular, and a number label sits in the bottom-right corner of the frame.
Description, scan 8
A small, blurred print of a dark object with a rounded, somewhat boxy outline and lighter patches on its upper and left sides. The print is mounted on a pale card with an irregular edge, set on a cream background. The form is too unclear to tell whether it is a ring, pin or pendant.
Description, scan 9
A single thick, oval ring with a large open centre, shown in grey tones on a pale card. Its surface looks rough and pitted, and one end tapers and overlaps the loop on the right side. The object fills most of the frame and has no scale or label.
Description, scan 10
A round object shows a raised pattern of petal-shaped lobes radiating from a central boss. Its edges are broken and worn, and the print is mounted on a light card with a handwritten label along the bottom edge. The surface is dark and the detail is soft, so any loops or pin fittings on the back cannot be seen.
