Head of a Goddess

Athens (Greece) was acquired by a collector in 1868. A stunning yet incomplete marble head of a goddess from 440-430 BC bears an uncanny resemblance to the "Wener-Laborde Head" in Paris's Louvre Museum, which is part of the Parthenon's western pediment. It is likely that this masterpiece was crafted by the same skilled artisans who worked on the Parthenon's sculptures. While its size suggests it depicts a goddess, the intricate hair design alone cannot conclusively identify its subject. This remarkable artifact is now part of "Scan The World," a groundbreaking digital archive created by MyMiniFactory to make fully 3D printable masterpieces from around the globe freely accessible to everyone. The initiative encourages people worldwide to contribute their own unique items and share them with the community, fostering an open-source movement that allows anyone to email stw@myminifactory.com and participate in this exciting project.
