A three-dimensional model of a police baton made of solid, woven leather with a strap attached to its end via two metal links. The body of the baton is largely cylindrical, with a slightly bigger and wider section at the top, likely to increase the amount of damage the baton was capable of causing. The dark brown leather of the baton is stitched together in a tight, woven pattern with wider strips weaved together at the larger portion. The strap is also made of dark brown leather and was likely used to carry the baton, to secure it to the user's wrist, or both. The model can be moved, rotated, and zoomed in and out, allowing the viewer to examine the object's details from multiple angles.
