Alt Text
A three-dimensional model of a dark-colored glass vase with a narrow neck and a wider base, with four seemingly-random indentations seen around its body. The vessel also has a pronounced lip and asymmetrical shape. 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.
