Description, scan 2
Three corroded iron objects are arranged one above another on a pale card mount with cut edges. The top piece has a flat, wide head with a short shank, the middle one is a dark, elongated bar with a rough surface, and the bottom one is a long piece bent at one end into an L shape with a thick knobbed section. Their surfaces are crusted with rust and soil, and no scale is visible.
