Sukia (or jawá)

prusaprinters

<p>This is my attempt to replicate a carving made in granite or basalt stone by the Cabecar tribe of precolumbian Costa Rica.</p> <p>The Sukia (or jawá) was the holy man, the intermediary between the spiritual and physical worlds. The shaman, medicine man, and sometimes undertaker, had extensive</p> <p>knowledge about their history, medicinal plants, elements like stones with magical religious powers, cosmovision, and healing chants.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>Anet A8</p> <p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>Yes</p> <p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>0.2mm</p></div> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>8%</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>The one I printed was scaled down to 80mm tall.</p></div> </p></p> Category: Sculptures
