title: Yaxchilan Lintel 25

description: This lintel was carved from limestone during the reign of king Itzamnaaj B'alam II and shows Lady Xook invoking the Vision Serpent to commemorate the accession of her husband to the throne. Lady Xook holds a bowl containing bloodletting apparatus consisting of a stingray spine and bloodstained paper. The Vision Serpent rising before her has two heads, one at each extreme, from the mouth of one emerges a warrior, from the other emerges the head of central Mexican deity Tlaloc, a water god from the distant metropolis of Teotihuacan in the Valley of Mexico. The hieroglyphic inscription on the lintel is unusual, being reversed as if it were meant to be read in a mirror, although the significance of this is unknown.

Adapted from wikipedia.

Taken on my recent trip to London. I am hardly the first person to make a model of this particular piece, but this one turned out pretty decent so I thought it was worth an upload!

Taken with a Nikon D5600, made with RealityCapture, Blender, InstantMeshes, and Photoshop.

Cylindrical olla. Orange clay with whitish slip. Produced in the area of Chiusi. Used as an urn. 2nd c. BCE. Montalcino, Poggio alle Mura (Castello Banfi), n. inv. 90. Bischeri 2022: n. cat. 179.

title: Polychrome Reconstruction of the Pandora Frieze

description: This is a polychrome reconstruction of the Birth of Pandora frieze from the base of the 5th-century statue of Athena Parthenos in the Parthenon. The reconstruction was initially modeled on the base of Alan LeQuire's Athena in the Parthenon in Nashville, TN, USA. While LeQuire's Athena and her base have been colored to resemble chryselephantine sculpture, my model represents a "thought experiment": what would Athena's base look like, if decorated with painted marble figures on a grey stone background (cf. Erechtheion frieze, or statue bases in the Hephaisteion in Athens, or at Rhamnous).

Initial model created in Agisoft Metashape Version 1.5.5 using 202 images (thanks to B. Frischer, M. Brennan, N. Plank, and B. Robinson). Settings were all run on high. Four additional models of the faces of my family members were created in Metashape, run on high, ultra high, and high settings. 

Zbrush 2018 was used to merge models of the four faces into the model of the frieze. Polypaint in Zbrush was used to add color.

title: Mildenhall Warren Lodge

description: Medieval rabbit warrening lodge in Thetford Forest, Sufolk. There had been a rabbit warren at the site since the 1300s, one of over twenty in medieval Breckland where rabbits were farmed in designated areas for their meat and their fur. This warren lodge is one of only two surviving medieval warren lodge buildings in Breckland, the other being Thetford Warren Lodge.

title: Ruins of the Church: "San Cesario alle Prebende"

description: According to local tradition, the body of San Cesario, after suffering martyrdom, was buried in a place in the Terracina's valley in one place
said in "Agro Varano" because it belonged to a wealthy family in Roman times, the Vari (Gens Vara) that converts to Christianity
A Basilica dedicated to the Saint was built on the site of the burial
entitled "Santa Maria ad Martyres".
This was the first and most important place of worship in Terracina since
first moments of the affirmation of Christianity in the city and around it
church quickly grew a cemetery from the Roman era.
This is because, obviously, the Terracinese wanted to be buried near the
their Saint.
This church, at the end of the Middle Ages, begins to decline and all that is left of itare the traces of the wall you see in this 3D graphic placed in the South-East direction.
Around the remains of the church, in a green area but surrounded by palaces, is located still a vast necropolis that from Roman times was used until the late Middle Ages.

description: The remains of a chalk barge bed on the Thames foreshore, below 'Charles Hay & Son' Rotherhithe, London.

Date: 18th Century.

Chalk beds were used as soft material for ships/boats to lay on when docked at low tide. The chalk stops the underside of the boat from being damaged by the foreshore. This one lies under a later layer of hard material which is being eroded to reveal the chalk beneath. Amongst the chalk and nearby are large quantities of discarded ship nails and other metal work.

title: Brass Block

description: A 'block' is a cast in brass. One of a multitude of blocks used to impress gold decoration in patterns and designs on book covers. Some block designs signify collections (such as the Cottons or Harleys) much like individual coats of arms relate to hereditary lines.
Other blocks are purely decorative. 

The block is positioned and fastened into a heated platen on a blocking machine. After reaching the correct temperature, the operator applies gold leaf or gold foil (powdered gold on a plastic film) onto the surface to be blocked, then aligns the surface under the platen. At the pull of a lever, the surface rises to meet the block and an impression is made. The trick is to get the right temperature and impression pressure. Occasionally the block will be impressed 'blind' - when no gold is applied.
