A small ceramic jug with intricate sgraffito painted designs has been uncovered at the ancient site of Calatrava la Vieja in Carrión de Calatrava, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. Dating back to the Middle Ages and featuring Islamic influences from the Almohad period (1195-1212), this remarkable artifact is now part of the esteemed collection at the Ciudad Real Museum. It bears the catalog number DO000142. Through Reality Capture technology, a 3D model of the jug was created by processing 411 high-resolution images. This exceptional piece of cultural heritage is a testament to the rich history of Castilla-La Mancha and its people. The discovery of this ceramic jug is attributed to the Alarcos‘95 excavation project, specifically mentioned in "El fiel de la balanza" (1995:256). The digitization of this artifact was made possible through a collaborative agreement signed in 2020 between the Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha and Global Digital Heritage.
