Description

About ten corroded metal pieces lie on a pale backdrop: two sword-like objects with cross-shaped guards at left and centre, several straight rod-like fragments, a curved piece and a short tapered piece at right. Two heavily encrusted lumps sit along the bottom edge. A measuring scale runs down the left edge and a handwritten number label appears at lower left.
