[Skulpturhalle Basel] proudly showcases a remarkable 3D scan of the Athens Acropolis Museum's 6th-century BC marble figure, Kore 678, which was discovered west of the Erechtheion in 1886 with impeccable detail and precision. This stunning 19th-century plaster cast exhibits the intricate thin raised lines that expertly trace the figure's contours, a deliberate result of the piece-mold technique used to create it. These intentional parting lines not only showcase the mastery of the mold-makers but also serve as a testament to their exceptional craftsmanship, leaving an indelible record of their skillful work. The Ionic costume worn by Kore 678 is a masterful recreation of the original ancient design, demonstrating a clear understanding and respect for the historical accuracy required in such representations.
