Alt Text

A three-dimensional model of a small, light brown, glass vase with a wide, cylindrical body and a neck that is only slightly narrowed before flaring out into a lip that is around the same diameter as the body of the vase, possibly longer. Seven slightly uneven, round indentations in the vase's body give it a soft, heptagonal cross section. 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.
