Gold rings, pins and pendants (L.406.1)

Description
Three metal pins are photographed upright on a grey mount. Each has a round, bulbous head with a short cylindrical collar on top and a slender shaft tapering to a point. The centre pin is the longest and has a thickened, bent section partway down, while the two side pins have irregular, slightly thickened shafts and look dark and pitted.

- A single thick, ring-shaped object with a rough, uneven surface and a round central hole. It is shown close up against a plain grey background, with some cracks and darker patches on its outline. The tones are grey, so the material cannot be confirmed as gold from this image.
- Description, scan 4
- A single object photographed against a pale grey ground: an irregular, thick-walled loop of dark metal, roughly rectangular with a rounded top and a wider, flattened lower-left end. A small ring is attached at the lower right corner, and the surface looks uneven and pitted. The photograph is taken straight on, with no scale or label visible.
- Description, scan 5
- A single dark, corroded metal object shaped like a bent wire frame, with a rounded top, straight sides and a flattened knob at the lower left. Its lower right end curls into a small open ring. It lies against a plain pale grey background on a light card mount, with a printed number label in the lower right corner.
- Description, scan 6
- A single plain ring, almost circular, with a thick band that is darker at the edges and a small rough notch on the upper side. It is photographed flat on a mid-grey card, with no scale or label beside it. Only one ring is visible in the frame.
- Description, scan 7
- Small objects are laid out in rows on a grey background. Two thin wire rings sit at the upper left and right, with a lumpy object below the left ring and a disc with a central hole below the right. Three round-headed pins run down the upper middle, and two curved wire pieces with spiral ends lie below them, with angular wire loops at the bottom.
- Description, scan 8
- A single dark, rounded object, broader at the base and narrower at the top, fills most of the frame against a plain grey backdrop. A faint horizontal ridge runs across its middle, a small circular mark shows on the left side, and pale patches appear near the top and bottom. The surface looks rough and worn.
- Description, scan 9
- A single thick, dark loop of slightly irregular oval form fills most of the square frame, with a short tapering end lying across its upper left side. It is set against an even grey ground with small pale specks and a pale border around the print. No pins, pendants or other objects are visible, and no scale or label appears.
