A cast and hammered bronze artifact with a dark green patina, dating to the 6th century BC.
The object consists of a thick bronze wire with a circular cross-section, shaped into a ring with the ends overlapping for about a third of the circumference. This design suggests a functional use, potentially as a fastening element, suspension piece, or part of a fastening system. The craftsmanship, achieved through casting and hammering, reflects robust and durable manufacturing techniques.
Measuring 7 cm in length, comparable to a standard lighter, the artifact is perfectly intact, with the original structure fully preserved. The surface, covered with a dark green patina, shows signs of natural oxidation due to time, without compromising the legibility of its shape and manufacturing techniques.
On this webpage, a series of slides illustrate the step-by-step process of the 3D modeling of this historical artifact. The images show how the final 3D model, enriched with photographic data, was obtained by modeling point clouds with extreme precision in millimeter measurements. The virtual model has been prepared for 3D printing, allowing for the creation of a tactile replica of the artifact.
