Alt Text
A three-dimensional model of a glass bottle with a narrow, cylindrical neck and a body that is a combination of a semi-circular section and a globular base. The rim of the opening is very wide and thick. Small patches of the original color and luminescence of the glass can be seen on its body. 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.
