Black and white photo of five pieces of glass. The photo is in a white border on a black background. The five pieces of glass are arranged in two rows on a flat surface. The top row contains two pieces, one small and rectangular with a honeycomb pattern and one large irregular shape with a raised pattern; the large piece has a rough and bubbly texture. The bottom row contains three pieces, one roughly triangular with a nub in the middle, one irregular with a bumpy surface and a small smooth area, and one rectangular with a rough surface. Two small white labels are below the photo. The surface under the photo is dark where the photo is cast shadow.
