As World War II raged in the Pacific, the Japanese found metal increasingly scarce. They turned to an old technology and began to manufacture hand grenades out of porcelain. These fragile artefacts are not often found the whole. This particular object was scanned at the Virginia War Memorial in Richmond and is presented with their permission.

VCL
The Virtual Curation Laboratory at VCU formed through a project with the U.S. Department of Defense’s Legacy Program to develop a digital data project that incorporates the use of a three-dimensional object scanner in recording American Indian and historic artifacts for analysis and conservation. The Virtual Curation Laboratory now partners with institutions across the planet to 3D scan paleontological, archaeological, and historically significant items with the goal of sharing them freely with the world.
