Description

Long metal implements with domed or conical heads and slender tapering shafts are laid out in rows against a black background. Round paper labels with handwritten numbers hang from or sit beside most of them. Some shafts show small holes, thin wire ties or string near the middle, and the surfaces look encrusted and worn.
