Asset type: transparent PNG foreground for a realistic full-page swinging pendulum animation.
Edit target: the supplied antique-clock image.
PRIMARY REQUEST: Isolate ONLY the pendulum hidden INSIDE THE LOWER COMPARTMENT of this clock: a single slender straight gold suspension rod with the SMALL sculpted SUN-FACE gold circular pendulum bob attached at its lower end. Enlarge and clean up this interior component into a detailed photorealistic asset. The rod connects to the TOP of the sun bob. The sun bob has the same classical human face in relief, ring of closely spaced pointed golden sun rays, polished antique gilded metal, dark fine crevices, and subtle aged patina as in the reference.
COMPLETELY REMOVE the entire exterior clock case, clock dial and hands, Roman numerals, statue, surrounding frame, floor, base, ornamental pillars, glass cabinet and background. The output is ONLY ONE ROD AND ONE SUN PENDULUM BOB. Do not render a clock, timepiece face, bell, casing, illustration or icon.
Composition: portrait transparent canvas, straight-on near-frontal studio photograph, centered vertically hanging rod. Top of thin rod at 3% canvas height; sun bob center at approximately 78% canvas height and its bottom at 96%. Rod length around 2.3 times sun bob diameter. Bob width around 40% canvas width. Very slight physical thickness visible on right edge, not an oblique perspective. True photographic gold texture, soft warm studio highlights. Exact transparent alpha background, no floor or shadow plane, no backdrop rectangle, no text, no additional objects.
