A three-dimensional model of an ancient glass vase with a narrow neck and a small mouth. The surface of the vase shows signs of wear and discoloration from years of sediment being built up on it and other environmental factors. 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.
