Alt Text
A three-dimensional model of a decorative vase with a narrow neck and a wider base. The body of the vase does not have an equal diameter on all sides; two sides of the vessel are slightly flattened and decorative elements in the shape of children's faces are seen on the opposite sides. There are multiple, speckled colors seen on the vase but it unclear what is original color and what is due to deterioration and age. 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.
