A three-dimensional model of a tall, narrow glass bottle with a slightly flared top and a twisted neck. The bottle has a light green tint and appears to have some brown spots of wear or discoloration near the base. 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.
