Alt Text

A three-dimensional model of a stone bust of a man with short, curly hair and equally curly moustache and beard. Though the bust has sustained some damage, it would appear that the figure is wearing some kind of flowy robe and has his right hand raised and resting just under his neck. 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.
