Abstract

Alt Text
A three-dimensional model of a tall, slender vase with a narrow neck and a wider base, made of glass. The lip of the vase is distinct, with a thick, rounded shape. The original color of the glass is difficult to determine under the years of sediment that have settled on the bottle. 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.
