Summary
Synthetic foam prototype made by Charlwood design to give a physical form to their designs for the Melbourne 2006 Queen's Baton. As such it is an important early development in the process of creating the Baton, as it was the first time that the shape presented in the designs was realised.
During the product development process the baton was snapped at its narrowest point and glued back together.
