A three-dimensional model of a smooth, alabaster vial with an elongated oval shape. A short neck narrows in diameter significantly between the vial's body and its prominent lip, which is almost flat. A small piece of the lip has chipped off, revealing a bright white interior that indicates the original color of the vessel. 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.
