A three-dimensional model of an ancient, dark-colored glass jar with a wide, cylindrical neck attached to a bulbous body that is even wider. Along the outside of the jar's body are six small, pinched indentations at uneven intervals, likely added for decorative purposes. 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.
