Two Meshed Paper Cogs Turn a Flag in Glass

Two large meshed paper cog wheels with evenly spaced square teeth interlock side by side on two paper axles, a small paper flag on a thin pole fixed to the upper wheel's axle, inside a clear rectangular glass display case on a pale wooden base.

A real photograph, macro photograph at 1:1 life-size magnification on a 100mm macro lens wide open near f/3.2, so the focus plane is razor-thin and dissolves millimetres away into soft blur. One dominant soft diffused light from above and slightly to one side models gentle relief, revealing true surface micro-texture, fine stippling and small hairs with clean, controlled specular highlights. Real tactile detail at believable scale, low-noise sensor clarity, and a crisp neutral colour finish with delicate tonal separation inside the sharp plane. Wide 16:9 frame. Inside the same clear rectangular glass display case on a pale wooden base, two large meshed paper cog wheels with evenly spaced square teeth sit side by side on two paper axles, the teeth interlocking at the centre, and a small paper flag on a thin paper pole is fixed to the upper wheel's axle, shot close so the folds and cut teeth read as paper. No people, no animals, no text, numbers, labels or logos appear; every part is large, simple cut and folded paper with a visible fold line.
