Alt Text
A three-dimensional model of two alabaster vials joined together at their centers to create one object. Small handles with holes drilled into their centers extend on either side, possibly indicating some kind of thread, string, or other object could be threaded through them. The alabaster material has an ivory, off-white color. 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.
