Description

A photograph mounted on a cream card with handwritten labels below. On the right, a long, curved iron object bends into a loop at its upper end and tapers to a point at its lower end, its surface dark, pitted and flaking. On the left, three short corroded iron fragments lie against a grey background, and a cropped second photograph shows at the far right edge.

Description, scan 2
A long, thin iron implement with a rough, heavily corroded surface. It has a narrow loop at the top, then a long shank that bends sharply and tapers to a point at the lower left.
