Description

About thirty-five corroded iron fragments are laid out across a pale grey sheet, photographed from above. The pieces are irregular and crusted, with flat and curved surfaces, some showing raised ridges or edges, and a few are broken into two or three joined parts. Their surfaces are pitted and flaking, with a rough, dark texture.
