Description

Two dark, corroded metal objects lie on a pale grey ground. The longer piece runs across the upper part of the frame and has a rounded, thickened end at its right; the shorter piece sits lower left and is slightly bent. Their surfaces are pitted and crusty, and the edges are irregular, so their original form cannot be read from the photograph.

Description, scan 2
Two heavily corroded metal objects stand upright side by side on a pale background. The left one is shorter, with a rough, pitted surface and a slightly wider top. The right one is long and thin, with an uneven, knobbed outline and a rounded lower end, and a dark shape is cut off at the left edge of the frame.
