An eagle hand-carved in Muonionalusta — 2.2 g, 27.3 mm across, 3.5 mm thick. Remarkably light for its diameter, which tells you how much material has been cut away: the carving is open rather than solid.

Open carving in meteorite

Cutting away this much of an iron-nickel section without weakening it is the difficulty. What remains carries the etched crystal lattice on every exposed edge as well as the faces, so the structure is visible from more angles than a solid piece allows.
