Alt Text
A three-dimensional model of a slender piece of copper alloy that turns upward at an almost-90 degree angle on its left end. This upward-turned portion has a wider end in the shape of a ball, while the opposite end comes to a point, though it has been blunted over time. 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.
