Abstract

Slender solid rod has an ornament at the top and an olivary point at the other. The head end has two short arms at right angles to the shaft.

Alt Text

A three-dimensional model of a long, thin metal rod whose shape is reminiscent of a modern drumstick, with a round oval shape attached at one of its ends. Unlike a drumstick, however, the opposite end of the object has a flat, decorative element in the shape of a "T". 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.
