Abstract

Slender solid metal cylindrical object has a spherical head atop the shaft. The shaft tapers to a sharp point at the other end. The shaft is pierced by a bore 4.0 cm. below the head. The shaft is swollen to support the sides of the bore. White corrosion on the head may indicate the presence of lead.

Alt Text

A three-dimensional model of a long, thin copper pin that tapers down to a point from a slightly-wider head with a rounded, decorative element attached. There is an off-center hole through the shaft of the tool, closer to the wider end than the point. 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.
