Abstract
A white stripe decorates the black body of the vessel. Base material is unknown, possibly wood. The surface is densely scratched longitudinally. The white stripe rises from the lower extremity in an irregular set of steps to the neck while circling the object twelve times. The thread is flush with the surface. The object transforms from a square cross-section at the foot to a round cross-section at the shoulder. The round neck rises 1.6 cm. to a round rim. The rim edge is squared off. The neck was broken and repaired with glue. The foot is augmented with a broken glob of black glass. The object is not free-standing and weighs 20.2 grams.

A three-dimensional model of a narrow vessel of unknown purpose with a single, light-colored stripe that starts at the bottom of the object and curls upward around it. The base of the vessel is very thin and widens as it extends upward, becoming slightly narrower again at the neck and then flaring outward at the opening. A bead of glass is attached to the narrow bottom 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.
