Description, scan 2: A single long, narrow metal blade shown upright, with a pointed lower end and a slim upper part ending in a rounded knob.

At bottom centre is a cylindrical stone object with a hole in one end.
Description, scan 4: A single dark grey cylindrical object with rounded, slightly tapering ends and a large oval hole near the top on one side. It stands upright against a pale grey backdrop mounted on a card border. The surface looks smooth and matt, suggesting stone rather than metal, and no tools or weapons are visible.
Description, scan 5: Six objects are laid out on a pale background. At the top, a long corroded bronze blade with a narrow tang ending in a rounded loop stretches across the image. Below are two shorter pointed blades, one with small holes near its tang, a cylindrical stone bead with a perforation standing on a small card, and two pairs of thin metal tongs with looped ends.
Description, scan 6: Two long, thin metal objects with looped tops lie side by side on a pale background, their two arms splaying apart toward the lower ends.
