Three photographs mounted together show corroded metal finds on pale backgrounds. At the top, a curved arc-shaped object thickens at its ends; in the middle, a long, thin rod tapers to a point at one end; below, a broad flat fragment with a rough, pitted surface and a dark patch.
Description, scan 3
A single elongated stone object tapers toward its lower end and has a broad, rounded upper part with a smooth, slightly mottled grey surface. A round hole is drilled through the upper section, with a paler rim on its lower edge. The object fills the centre of a pale print on a light card mount, with a narrow border and a small label in the bottom corner.

A small cream paper card photographed straight on, with blue ink handwriting in the upper and lower areas. Two blue ink ring outlines, drawn as double circles, sit side by side in the middle, one with a short pointer line to a label. The card has torn edges and no objects, bronze tools or people are shown.
