It is photographed alone against a pale grey backdrop, and the photograph is mounted on a card with a border and a handwritten number label along the bottom edge.

Description, scan 2: A heavily corroded, dark grey iron mass photographed against a pale backdrop on a mounted card. Its block-like form has vertical ridges and a crusted, pitted surface, with irregular broken edges along the top and right side. Individual weapon forms cannot be made out, so it appears to be a concreted group of iron weapons.
