Abstract

A flattened rim leads to a 4.5 cm. neck that tapers inward and then expands to the globular body. The rim is infolded and flattened. The narrow spout is attached to the shoulder of the body and tilts upward at a 60 degree angle. The tip of the spout is not finished and may have been broken. The bottle is free-standing on a flattened base.

Alt Text

A three-dimensional model of a small glass bottle with a long and wide cylindrical neck, rounded lip, and a very narrow spout attached to its wider body. The opening of the spout is very small, likely indicating this vessel had some kind of specialized purpose. 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.
