Description

A row of long, leaf-shaped metal blades lies side by side, each with a narrow tang that ends in a curled loop at the top and a tapering point below. The blades are dark and slightly corroded, and several show a raised central ridge. They are mounted on a pale grey card, with a handwritten label in blue ink along the bottom left edge.
