Description

Four corroded metal fragments lie on a pale background, each showing rows of rounded, pitted lumps that look like rings packed together in bands. Two larger pieces sit at upper right and lower left, with smaller ones at upper left and lower right, and one upper piece overlaps another. Handwriting is partly visible along the bottom edge of the mounted photograph.
