Description

Two corroded iron objects lie side by side on a pale grey mount, photographed in close view. The left object is long and narrow with a slightly thicker middle, shaped like a blade or tang. The right one is a broader, irregular fragment with a rough, broken edge, and both surfaces are dark and pitted. Handwritten numbers and a printed label appear along the bottom edge.
