Physical Description

Two aluminium horse shoes, showing signs of wear. Each shoe is a mirror image of the other, the curve being slightly irregular on one side. Each shoe has fourteen nail-holes, which are in a groove which runs the length of the shoe. The three nearest to each end are closer together than the rest.
