Yes, I was just working on those last night. I fear I may have made them too fancy for something that's only worth 15 gold.
(The far-right one was an earlier test, ignore it. The middle one is the original and the left one is the new model. Texture is a modification of a gem texture I stole off Eshaktaar.)

They might be also simply blue polished glass... a fancy addition to a night lamp.

They are strange looking. I'm guessing that they had problems rendering whatever they're supposed to be and that's how they came out.
Keeping them like that, I'd assume they are either some sort of phallic symbol or urn. Although there haven't been a lot of tabletop phallic symbols. I'd go with an urn. Here are a couple types:
Green and gold like in the game

A search yields Egyptian funerary cones, but they are usually clay and covered with writing about the deceased person, the bottom being used for stamping. Interesting, but they aren't even jars, nor do they resemble the skin for the object at all.:erg:
Another theory I'm looking into is they are containers for incense. Oh well.

I think you're going to have to use your imagination because they just don't look like anything, except maybe a golden pyramid atop of one of those old green plastic coke cups that Pizza Hut used to have. :weird:
A couple of those jars Yandros posted look good. They remind me of rhytons. Maybe you could make it look like the famed Minoan rock crystal rhyton sitting in a stand:

Or it could be a golden pyramid sitting on an elaborate non-coke cup stand, or a golden lozenge shape in a stand.

They are giant pencils. They had to write scrolls with something. :p

Always knew those little ancients had som mega weapons in store.
