Description

A long, narrow, heavily corroded iron object runs vertically through the frame, its surface crusted and pitted with pale encrustation. A transverse break crosses the middle, and the lower end is split and flaking. A black card with a number label sits at the lower right corner, against a plain grey background.

Description, scan 2: More than a dozen corroded iron objects are laid out in rows on a pale surface, most with a pointed blade and a narrow tang at one end. Each has a small dark label with a number placed beside it. The objects differ in length and width, and their encrusted surfaces look rough and pitted.
Description, scan 3: Two long, heavily corroded iron objects stand upright side by side against a plain grey backdrop. The left one is long and slightly curved, broken into two pieces, with a small round lump on its upper part. The right one has a pointed upper end, a swollen corroded section near the top and a rough, flaking surface along its length.
