This is a digital model captured using 123D Catch technology, showcasing an Olmec sculpture replica on display at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum. Nick Bontrager created this scan: http://www.123dapp.com/catch/Smithsonian-Natural-History-Museum-Colossal-Head-4-replica-/5111161 I refined the model for 3D printing by solidifying it and adding details that were missing. I also adjusted its size and orientation to ensure accuracy. For more information on mesh editing software, visit http://www.meshmixer.com or check out features at http://www.mmmanual.com. This sculpture, known as "Colossal Head 4," is a replica from the Olmec culture, originating in San Lorenzo Tenochtitlan, Veracruz, Mexico. It dates back to between 1200 and 900 B.C.E. The Smithsonian Institution received this gift from the government of Veracruz, Mexico, and the Washington Center for Internships & Academic Seminars in October 2001.
