Description

Seven dark metal objects lie in a row across a pale grey backdrop. The one at left is a flat, flared blade with a corroded surface and a narrow top; the other six are slender, elongated forms, some with a folded or looped upper end and tapering or flared lower ends. The print is mounted on a card with handwritten blue notes along the lower edge.

Description, scan 2
Rows of bronze objects are laid out on a pale background. The top row holds about a dozen pointed blades, several with a small hole near the top end. Below are long slender pins of varying length, tanged flat tools and a few flat blades, and along the bottom are small rings, a grid of tiny round beads and rings of different sizes.

Eight dark, corroded rings of varying size lie spaced apart on a pale background. Three larger rings sit at the top and centre, with smaller rings and one broken ring at the sides. Two small paper labels with handwritten numbers are placed at the bottom edge, and the print is mounted on a card.

Several photographs of long, slender dark metal objects are mounted on a light card, shown against a plain background. Some have a rounded knob at the top and taper to a point, while others are thinner or slightly curved. A separate small photograph at lower right shows a clustered bundle of dark metal pieces, and a handwritten label is written in blue ink at lower left.

Four long, thin dark objects lie upright side by side on a pale grey background. The two on the right have a pointed top with a small white eye-like spot, while the left two have plain tops. All taper to fine points at the bottom, and the second from the left bends sharply near its lower end.

A long, narrow blade with a raised central ridge tapers to a point at its lower end, and its upper end narrows into a thin tang that finishes in a small curl. The dark metal surface is pitted and encrusted along the edges, and a small handwritten number label is attached to the left side of the blade. It is photographed straight on, upright, against a plain grey background.

A pale grey card of U-shaped outline with a yellow-edged border sits on a cream background. Two dark, narrow, tapering shapes lie lengthwise, one on each arm of the U, and they may be objects or marks on the card. No clear bronze tools, weapons or rings can be identified in the frame.

Three plain circular rings lie on a grey ground. Two larger rings sit near the top, one overlapping slightly at its edge so a double outline shows, and one smaller ring sits lower right. The rings have rough, slightly uneven surfaces and no scale or number label is visible.

Fifteen small rounded objects are arranged in three rows of five on a pale background, with a number card below them. Several have a small dark hole near the centre, and some are slightly irregular or chipped in outline. They are roughly the same size and have dull, worn surfaces.

A photograph mounted on a pale card shows eleven bronze objects. Ten slender, pointed pieces lie in two rows of five on grey backgrounds, several with small holes near their blunt ends and rough, corroded surfaces.
