Netsuke: Curled Rat 3D model
A real museum object: a carved netsuke of a curled-up rat by Suzuki Masanao, from the second half of the 1800s, about 38 mm across. The Minneapolis Institute of Art scanned it and released it as CC0, so you can use it with no conditions at all.

Performance: is 65,000 triangles a lot?
Medium. Best as a hero or close-up prop. Make a decimated copy for distant views or mobile. It has fewer triangles than 14% of the 52 models in this library. Read more about polygon budgets, or how to reduce a model's polygon count.
Before you use it
Scans can contain small holes. Run it through a mesh repair step (Blender's 3D-Print toolbox or your slicer) before printing.
This model is released under CC0, so you can use it for anything without crediting anyone. A credit to Minneapolis Institute of Art is still appreciated.
