"Figurehead of HMS 'Thames' , a 46-gun fifth-rate (frigate) built at Chatham Dockyard in 1823. It is a vigorously carved male head-and-shoulders bust, white-painted, of a scowling, bearded river god no doubt intended to represent the spirit of the RIver Thames. The base of the figure has a carved rope trim around it and the whole stands on an lettered black plinth. The 'Thames' became a convict ship in 1841 and sank at her moorings in Bermuda in June 1863, when the wreck was sold."

Statue of a priest

"La Manola" is the colloquial name for a sculptural fountain made of cast iron, approximately 3.20 meters high, located in the central area of the Parterre gardens, in the vicinity of the church of Santa María in the town of Daimiel (Ciudad Real, Spain). This composition was manufactured in the Mac Naughtan Bros foundry in the city of Glasgow based in Valencia, being installed in Daimiel in 1891.

The figure represents an upright young woman with her head slightly tilted to the right side of her. She is half-naked, dressed only by a cloth that partially covers her body. She presents her hair gathered and ornamented with a flowery crown. On her right shoulder he carries a cornucopia, while in her left hand he holds a bouquet of various flowers. The sculpture sits on a wide open-profile cup, decorated on its external face by bearded male masks. The iconographic attributes of her infer, although with a certain stylistic uncertainty, that she could represent the goddess Fortuna of the Roman world.

My final entry for the statues texturing challenge organized by Sketchfab and SMK on the theme of gender representation in classical sculpture.

**My interpretation**

I tried to infuse this model with the theme of the sea, thinking of this statue as an old ship figurehead.

Burnt and torn apart during fierce marine battles, it was then meticulously repaired by the ship's captain, who replaced the damaged parts with inclusions of aquamarine, and finalized his craft with seals of gold. 

I love to imagine the captain as a very masculine yet paradoxical man, a bearded giant letting his deepest emotions, hidden to its pairs, appear through his delicate work.

Textured in blender by cautiously mixing PBR textures, then baked to the unmodified challenge's model. Post-processing and lighting were kept simple to emphasize the texturing work.

3D scan of a male bearded figure holding the skull of an Eobasileos in his hands. Eobasileos lived in North America around 45 to 40 million years ago and therefore never had contact with humans. 

The figure was created by Rudolf Weyr (1847-1914) and is part of the decorative program in Hall X of the Natural History Museum.

3D scan of a man that personifies quartz as a powerful mountain spirit rising directly from a cluster of sharp-edged crystal druses. In the tradition of romantic mythical figures such as Rübezahl, the bearded figure appears as an archaic guardian, inextricably linked to the mineral treasures of the underworld. 

The figure was created by Rudolf Weyr (1847-1914) and is part of the decorative program in Hall IV of the Natural History Museum.

3D scan of a bearded man wearing a belt set with rubies. The coiled, crowned serpent symbolises the ruby as a dracontia (dragon stone), heroically extracted from the wild. Held aloft in triumph, it also represents the Philosopher’s Stone – the ultimate goal of all knowledge. The vial for elixir symbolises the healing properties attributed to this stone.

Appliqué with red paint in the form of a Silenus head. The head of an old, bearded man with a button nose and round, protruding eyes looks straight ahead. The mouth is slightly open and depicted with thick lips. On the plastically rendered hair at the forehead, he probably wears a stylized wreath. A full beard frames the round face and is braided into thick plaits. On the reverse, the ridges of the vessel wall are still visible. The appliqué comes from a vessel that was probably used in Dionysian festivities.

This object was digitized through the 'Kulturerbe digital' program of the Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, Public Service and Sport.

Side Profile of a Bearded Man in a Black Cap

Male kneeling donor figure to left of Pieta on front or altar reredos dating from the second half of the 15th century, standing up against the internal face of the eastern wall of the chancel of Strade Dominican Friary (MA070-067001-), Co. Mayo.  Described by archaeologist John Hunt as; 'The man has a similar costume to that worn by the bearded man on the tomb-front of the wall monument in the northern wall of the chancel.  The gole, however, is cut square below though the method of fashioning the garment is similar with the seams of the four sections of the front carefully indicated. The buttons closing the side placket of the gown and the belt with its pendant end are similar, and here also the rosary and the shuttle-like object hang from it'.
