About this work
Model of a caltrop. Seen from above, it is a star-shaped framework with eight sharp points. On a metal disc in the center, eight additional points directed upwards are mounted. In side view, it resembles an inverted pyramid with an eye for anchors at the top; the lower part is an inverted pyramid with a square base, closed with planks. A stand in the center connects all construction elements. Scale 1:12 (derived).
