Alt Text

A three-dimensional model of a long, thin metal object with a pointed end and a wider, slightly rounded top. It is reminiscent of a modern sewing needle, though without the opening at the top. The 3D model can be freely moved, rotated, and zoomed in and out to allow the viewer to inspect the object from multiple angles. A small, still image of the object is also included, with the object against a white background and a measurement scale in centimeters below it.
