A cast bronze artifact with a green patina, dating to the 6th century BC.
The object features a crescent shape, with a curved cutting edge on one side and three perforated rectangular apophyses on the other. The structural configuration suggests the artifact was originally part of a long-shafted weapon, likely a blade for mounting on a pole, used in military or ceremonial contexts. The holes in the apophyses indicate a secure attachment system, designed to ensure stability once mounted on a wooden shaft.
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.
