Alt Text
A three-dimensional model of a skinny glass bottle with a flared lip that sits at a slight angle due to an indent in the base, though it is unknown if this was its original design or the result of deterioration or damage over time. It has green, white, and brown hues on its surface and lip has been broken off. 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.
