This sculpture originates from a centuries-old, crumbling column sourced from China, where it was carved in the likeness of a female figure likely representing a healer. As part of a decorative column once adorning a medicine temple, its significance lies in its potential to have played a pivotal role in ancient Chinese healing practices. Scanned by the team at Trnio, this object is a valuable addition to "Scan The World," a non-profit initiative spearheaded by MyMiniFactory. Through this project, we are creating an extensive digital archive of fully 3D printable sculptures, artworks, and landmarks from around the globe, all available for free access. As an open-source community effort, Scan the World invites anyone with unique items to contribute by emailing stw@myminifactory.com to learn how they can help expand this global repository.
