Description

Two long, narrow bronze objects stand upright side by side on a pale mounted card. The left one has a flat, tapering blade with a narrow top loop pierced by a small hole; the right one has a short tang and a long blade that widens slightly toward the base. Both have pitted, dark, corroded surfaces, and a handwritten number label sits above each.
