I have a flat bed scanner, and I think the box could be scanned. But it is in my mother's possession and she is 1000km away. I took this photo (best of many attempts) when visiting her recently. Very tricky to avoid reflection of the glass. Had to be taken at a slight angle. How would a scanner handle the glass? Wouldn't you get the reflection or glare of the strobe?

Thank so much, Carol. An excellent job of framing, given the irregular shape of the original.

It's stunning, polldoll. You've brought out details I hadn't even noticed before.
