Alt Text

A three-dimensional model of a bronze statue of a standing female figure holding what appears to be a small bowl in her left hand and a pitcher in her right. Her right arm is relaxed at her side while her left arm is raised, holding the bowl up at chest level. The statue is smooth, but some features are still distinguishable, such as the shape of her hair, her nose, and her breasts. 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.
