A three-dimensional model of a slender piece of copper that tapers down to a point on the right side from a slightly wider end on the left. The wider end has a rounded shape with a flat head, possibly for decoration. 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.
