Description

Three corroded iron pieces are photographed on grey mounting card, with a handwritten number label in the lower left. The longest piece is a strip that bends into a loop at its upper end; a pointed, tapering fragment lies to the right, and a curved, broken strip runs along the bottom. The iron is dark, pitted and encrusted, with rough, flaking edges.
