Alt Text

A three-dimensional model of an ancient ceramic vase with a narrow neck and a thin, curved handle, featuring painted figures and decorative details on its surface, most of which remain despite the object's age. There are cracks at the bottom of the vessel's neck and handle that indicate it was once broken but has been glued back together. 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.
