Alt Text
A three-dimensional model of a small, narrow-necked, glass vase with a greenish tint and blue and brown also seen, though it is unclear if these were the original colors or if this is the result of centuries of wear and deterioration. 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.
