Description, scan 2
A long, narrow, heavily corroded iron object runs vertically through the frame, with a rough, pitted surface and a broader, irregular upper part that tapers to a point at the bottom. The surface is crusted and uneven, with rust-coloured lumps and lighter patches. The object lies on a plain pale grey backdrop, with a small label visible at the bottom edge.
