Alt Text
A three-dimensional model of a long, thin copper tool that ends in a widened, scoop-like structure, likely used for some specialized purpose. The edges of the scoop are slightly cracked and jagged, likely due to damage over time. The copper has turned to an oxidized green with age. 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.
