A three-dimensional model of a small, colorful vase with a neck that is slightly narrower than its rounded base and a subtly-flared lip. The vessel is mostly light blue, with some bits of greens and oranges visible; due to the artifact's age, however, whether or not these colors are part of the original design or the result of exposure to environmental factors over time is unclear. The 3D model can be freely moved, rotated, and zoomed in and out to allow the viewer to inspect the object from multiple angles. A small, still image of the object is also included, with the object against a white background and a measurement scale in centimeters below it.
