A three-dimensional model of a slightly curved, thin piece of pointed copper. A hole seen poked through both sides of the metal may indicate this object could have been used as a sewing needle or a similar device. 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.
