Alt Text

A three-dimensional model of a long, cylindrical copper object that tapers down to a point from a significantly wider end. There is also a hole drilled through the center of the object, possibly indicating use in sewing or a similar function. The surface of the object is very bumpy and 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.
