Alt Text

A three-dimensional model of an ancient, copper alloy jug with a handle and a round, flared opening, showing signs of wear and discoloration due to its age. The handle has a raised ridge down its outward-facing length, but the handle has some warped sections and is not perfectly straight, though it is unclear if this was the original design or if the unevenness of the piece is due to deterioration over time. 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.
