Pair of hard scleral contact lenses. In black leather-covered metal hinged and compartmentalised case with purple velvet and silk lining. Together with a modern plaster cast made by the co-donor to demonstrate the asymmetry between the nasal and temporal sides of the right lens, thereby proving that the scleral portion cannot have been made to a pre-determined radius.
