A three-dimensional model of a glass bottle with a narrow neck and a body that appears spherical, but is seen to be a flattened circle shape when viewed from the side. Only the narrow, cylindrical neck of the bottle is unflattened. 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.
