Alt Text
A three-dimensional model of a green-colored, copper alloy spoon. The neck of the spoon is very long and slender with a rounded end and the scoop part is round, but very small and shallow. The copper has turned to an oxidized green with age and has a bumpy surface, likely from corrosion. 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.
