It was captured from two camera angles, high and straight on. The artifact was sitting upright in the first orientation and upsidedown in the second orientation, stabilized with a foam base. In the third artifact orientation the object was sitting on its nose, supported by a foam base. The 3D model was created using 142 images out of 150 images in Agisoft Photoscan.
