Description

A single dark, corroded metal wire is bent into an open rounded frame, with a small knob at the upper left and another at the upper right. At the lower right the wire curls into a closed ring, and at the lower left it ends in a flattened, broken piece. The object lies flat against a pale mount, with a border and handwritten notes along the bottom edge.

Description, scan 2: Two iron objects are photographed side by side on a pale grey backdrop. Above, a thin wire is bent into a rounded bow with a small coil at its right end and a flattened, broken-looking plate at its left end, with thickened bands along the wire. Below, a long, dark, heavily corroded rod with a knobbly encrusted surface and tapering ends lies horizontally across the lower part of the frame.
Description, scan 3: A long, slender, heavily corroded metal object stands upright, filling most of the height of the frame. Its surface is rough and crusted with dark corrosion, with a slightly thicker, knobbed section near the middle and a narrower tip at the top. A number label sits at the lower right of the mount, and the object is shown against a plain grey background.
