It's about 10 cm (4") long. Metal and plastic.

~~Hopefully this will stump people a little longer than the other challenges have managed.~~ What a naive fool I was! < 1 minute again...

If you do find the answer using Google Lens, hold onto it for a while to see if unaugmented humans can work it out :-)

Please add spoiler tags to any guesses to add to the element of suspense.
