Entry
Open oblong wooden box divided into sixteen compartments, containing ten samples of iron ore, five slugs and two small pieces of a slug. Most samples are accompanied by a small note, but positive identification of the samples with the notes is now impossible.
De Fremery brought back these samples from Sweden in 1860.
