Abstract

Square-shouldered bottle tapers to a smaller 1.6 x 1.7 cm base. A short, round neck sits atop the sloping shoulders. The neck has a visible horizontal gap where the neck has been glued to the bottle. The pitting and color of the neck is dissimilar to that of the body. The vessel rests slightly unevenly on the base and stands askew.

Alt Text

A three-dimensional model of a rectangular bottle with a square cross-section and smoothed, rounded ends. The body of the vessel is relatively tall and pinches inward to create a very small neck at its apex. The bottle is a little misshapen and uneven on its surface, though whether this was its original design or the result of years of deterioration and environmental exposure is unclear. 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.
