Description, scan 2
A single pin of dark, corroded metal stands upright in the frame. A flattened disc forms the head at the top, and the shaft has raised bands and ridges, with a ring-shaped loop projecting from one side below the middle. The shaft tapers to a point at the bottom against a pale background on a cream card mount.
Description, scan 3
Many objects are arranged in rows on a pale grey background. A long bead necklace curves across the lower centre, above it are several flat metal strips and a pin with a decorated head, and hoop earrings, rings and small arm bands sit at the left and right edges. Two small jars appear at the right, and a flat plaque with three raised rounded forms is at the top left.
Description, scan 4
Two separate photographs sit side by side on a card mount, each showing an open ring made of twisted strands with tapered, pointed ends. The ring on the left is smaller and shown slightly from above, while the ring on the right is larger and has a smoother band at the top. Both rings are set against a plain pale background.
Description, scan 5
Two photographs of necklaces are mounted together on cream card, the upper one on a grey card and cropped at the top edge. The lower necklace lies in a curve across a white card and has barrel-shaped and ribbed beads, paired double-lobed beads at the centre, and small tapered pendants. Handwritten blue number labels appear beside each necklace.
Description, scan 6
A single ring-shaped band photographed against a pale background on a light card mount. The band is thicker and shaded at the lower left and tapers toward the top, where a thin pin or wire crosses over it. A small printed code sits in the lower corner of the card.
Description, scan 7
A single ring with a thick, slightly irregular circular hoop, shown centred and upright against a pale card. A cluster of small rounded granules hangs from the bottom of the hoop, forming a pendant-like knob. The photograph is a close view with no scale or people visible.
Description, scan 8
Two ring-shaped objects lie side by side on a pale background, each with a short collar at the base from which a rounded, flattened pendant hangs. The left ring is larger, with its right side slightly flattened and worn, while the right ring is smaller with a more oval pendant. Both pendants have dark, uneven surfaces.
Description, scan 9
Two grey-toned photographs are mounted side by side on a card, each showing the same small globular object from a slightly different angle. The object has a wide flared rim around a dark opening, a ribbed or fluted body and a short footed base. Both views sit on a pale plain background within white borders.
Description, scan 10
A mounted card shows about a dozen narrow strips of thin metal arranged in rows, most with small holes near their ends, and one crumpled mass at lower right. Two small photographs at upper left and right show an embossed ornament with three oval raised motifs and a holed strip. Handwritten numbers sit beside the photographs and beneath the strips, and a partly visible third photograph is at the lower left edge.
Description, scan 11
Three dark, corroded metal objects lie on a pale card mount. Two are open arcs of thick, rod-like form, one at the left and one at the right, with tapering ends. A small ring with a round hole sits between them near the top, and a number label is in the lower right corner.
Description, scan 12
A single small object appears as a dark, rounded form resembling a hollow ring or short tube, with a broken, uneven upper rim and a lighter inner surface. The grey-toned print is mounted on a white card with a cut-out top edge, and the object sits against a blank white ground. The surface shows mottling and faint scratches.
Description, scan 13
Two wire rings lie on a plain light grey background, mounted on a pale card. On the left is an open ring of thick wire, with one end overlapping the other at the lower right. On the right is a coiled ring with several turns, seen at an angle so the coils stack one above another.
Description, scan 14
Two photographic prints are mounted side by side on a cream card, showing small metal objects close up. On the left, a flattened rounded piece with a dark central spot lies beside a short cylindrical bead-like piece. On the right, a tall object with a ribbed, segmented surface, perhaps a coiled or beaded tube, stands upright against a pale background.
Description, scan 15
A single open hoop of twisted wire, with rope-like spiral ridges around its whole length. At the top the two ends meet in a smooth, plain band, and the left end tapers into a small knot. The ring lies flat against a pale background, and the photograph is mounted on a grey card border.
Description, scan 16
A single dark, ring-shaped object with a round central hole is centred on a plain white card mount with a pale beige border. Its coils show lighter highlights and soft edges, so the object appears slightly out of focus. Torn tape remnants are visible at the lower right corner of the mount, and the metal cannot be identified from this print.
Description, scan 17
Three small objects are set one below another on a white card cut to an irregular shape. Each has a rounded body and a narrow neck with a small knob or loop at the top, shown dark against the pale background. The lowest object sits on a projecting strip of the card, and a printed marking appears in the lower corner.
Description, scan 18
Gold and silver-lead objects are laid out flat on a pale background as one group. Long thin bands with pierced holes lie in rows across the centre, with crumpled sheet fragments at lower right. A strand of beads forms a U-shape along the bottom, and hoop earrings, rings and pins sit around the edges.
Description, scan 19
A single ring-shaped object, a dark hoop with a thin tapering strand at the top, is shown in soft shading against a pale background. The print is pasted on a pale grey card, with a strip of yellow tape along the lower right edge. No scale or other objects are visible.
Description, scan 20
A single ring-shaped piece of jewellery with a small gap at the top, shown against a pale card. At the bottom of the loop, a cluster of small knobs leads into a tapering cone with rounded ridges and a blunt tip. A small number label sits in the lower corner of the frame.
