From the ancient collection of Prussian royaltyMarble sculpture from Rome, based on a model from around 470/460 BCAspasia was the wife of Pericles, the Athenian military leaderHowever, it remains unclear if the Greek original, which served as the model for this copy, truly depicted AspasiaThe only certainty lies in the fact that this entirely non-individual head type belongs to a statue from the early classical period that survives through multiple copiesThis object is part of "Scan The World", a non-profit initiative launched by MyMiniFactoryThrough Scan The World, we are creating a digital archive of fully 3D printable sculptures, artworks and landmarks from around the world for public access at no costScan The World is an open-source community effortIf you have interesting items nearby and would like to contribute, email stw@myminifactory.com to learn how you can participate
