Abstract

Small bottle has an in-folded rim. The neck of 1.9 cm. opens smoothly into a teardrop-shaped body. The bottom is flat; the object is free-standing at a slight angle. The neck appears to have been broken and repaired at the site of a 1.1 by 0.5 cm. hole.

Alt Text

A three-dimensional model of a glass artifact with a narrow neck and teardrop-shaped body with a prominent lip at its opening. The bottle has blue and brown hues and maintains some iridescence. There is a pointed, triangular piece missing from the neck and lip; it likely broke off at some point. 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.
