Small number labels sit beside some objects and below the beads. The tallest blade, at right, is long and narrow with a flat face.

Two dark metal objects stand side by side on a pale grey ground. The smaller one on the left tapers toward a broken, uneven top edge, and the longer one on the right narrows to a flat top and flares into a curved, slightly uneven base with a corroded, pitted surface. The print is mounted on a cream card with a cut corner.
