Description

A large scatter of small jewellery lies across a dark background. Plain rings, twisted spiral bands and flat discs with a central hole are spread over the whole frame, and several rings stand upright on thin pins that show them from the side. The pale objects are shown in a grid-like spread with no people or tools visible.

Description, scan 2
Dozens of small jewellery pieces are laid out on a dark, dull surface in a loose scatter: plain round rings, twisted wire coils and small flat discs. Several rings stand on thin upright pins, and a small blank white card on a pin rises above the group at the top. The photograph is taken from above and at an angle, so the objects appear bright against the dark ground.
