Description

A slender, corroded metal object runs almost the full height of a narrow vertical print. A round loop forms the upper end, and the shaft narrows toward a thinner lower end with a darker swelling and rough patches on its surface. The print sits on a cream mount with a number label in the lower corner.

Description, scan 2
A long, thin metal object photographed upright, its upper end curled into a tight spiral loop. The rod is corroded and uneven in thickness, with a dark patch about two-thirds down and a thicker, knobbly lower end. The print is mounted on a pale card strip inside a cream border, and a faint crack crosses the lower part of the image.
