Alt Text

A three-dimensional model of an ancient, blown-glass urn. The body of the urn is egg-shaped and flares out at its bottom to form a narrow base. The neck is similarly shaped, though it is wider than the base and flares outward at its top to form the urn's opening. Two thin handles are attached to the urn's lip and the shoulders of its body on either side. 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.
