Model of Asclepius

This folder contains images, masks and files to recreate a 3D model of the Asclepius figure found in the Enlightenment gallery @britishmuseum.

Object data

Marble statue of Asclepius; leaning on a club round which a snake is twined; bearded and wearing diadem and mantle; right shoulder bare; by his side is a draped figure of Telesphoros (which is headless). Second Century AD, Roman copy of Greek original.

Height: 62.23 centimetres

Created by Daniel Pett from 165 photos taken with a OnePlus3 in gallery lit conditions (dark). Several spot lights are focused on this object from different directions. Hence interesting shadows in model.
