The Copper Age, named after the element, was the first phase of the Metal Age, a period of human history roughly 6,000 years ago that bridged humanity’s transition from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn order to create these abstract forms, molten copper at 2200° F is poured over water-soaked straw. Due to the high temperature, the straw burns away as the water cools and solidifies the element into these unique shapes. Whether displayed as a showpiece on a bookshelf, décor upon a desk, or the centerpiece of a coffee table, these scientific sculptures are a one-of-a-kind conversation piece that is sure to catch the attention of anyone who comes across it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KEWEENAW GEM \u0026 GIFT INC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51973320474844,"sku":"103655","price":275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/3866\/3388\/files\/103655.jpg?v=1792423301","url":"https:\/\/museumstore.hmns.org\/products\/sculptured-copper-50","provider":"Houston Museum of Natural Science","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
