A Hindu temple, or mandir or koil in Indian languages, is a house, seat and body of divinity for Hindus. It is a structure designed to bring human beings and gods together through worship, sacrifice, and devotion. The symbolism and structure of a Hindu temple are rooted in Vedic traditions, deploying circles and squares. It also represents recursion and the representation of the equivalence of the macrocosm and the microcosm by astronomical numbers, and by "specific alignments related to the geography of the place and the presumed linkages of the deity and the patron". A temple incorporates all elements of the Hindu cosmos — presenting the good, the evil and the human, as well as the elements of the Hindu sense of cyclic time and the essence of life — symbolically presenting dharma, artha, kama, moksa, and karma

Ankh-khonsu was a doorkeeper in the Temple of Amun-Re at Karnak. He inherited his position from his father Ankh-en-amun. His brightly painted coffin lid is covered with images of protective deities. Particularly prominent are winged scarab (dung) beetles, symbols of rebirth. One sits on Ankh-khonsu’s head and encircles his face with its wings. A second scarab covers his chest. Both scarabs hold a shen hieroglyph, symbol of eternity, with their hind legs in place of a dung ball. Offering spells including Ankhkhonsu’s name are written on the outside of his coffin. Traces of resins (now black) and water poured over it during his funeral are visible on the top and sides of the coffin.

It took 5 days to make it. I use my own TCF 2009 camera animation to matched the TCS 2020 camera animation, credit to SB2015. I use the different palm trees, credit to Victor. I also use SB2015’s TCF 2009 Hollywood mountains to saturated to match the color of the TCS 2020 mountains. I also use the circles for the glares of TCS 2020. Last May, I use my own TCF 2009 logo remake to make the TCS 2020 logo remake.

Bronze gladiator's helmet. It has a grille of linked circles to protect the face, and a broad brim to protect the back and sides of the head. At the front of the helmet is a medallion of Hercules. Said to have been found in the gladiators' barracks at Pompeii. 

48.26 centimetres high.

Produced from 140 photographs taken by Professor Eric Poehler, UMass Amherst. The helmet was photographed on a workbench, without lights and no access to the interior.  It is therefore not top quality, but is useful for visualisation.

Model created by Daniel Pett, work needed in Blender to make this a better model (to be done at a later date.)

The Mil Mi-24 (Russian: Миль Ми-24; NATO reporting name: Hind) is a large helicopter gunship, attack helicopter and low-capacity troop transport with room for eight passengers. It is produced by Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant and has been operated since 1972 by the Soviet Air Force and its successors, along with more than 30 other nations.
In NATO circles, the export versions, Mi-25 and Mi-35, are denoted with a letter suffix as "Hind D" and "Hind E". Soviet pilots called the Mi-24 the "flying tank" (летающий танк; letayushchiy tank), a term used historically with the famous World War II Soviet Il-2 Shturmovik armored ground attack aircraft. More common unofficial nicknames were "Crocodile" (Крокодил; Krokodil), due to the helicopter's camouflage scheme and "Drinking Glass" (Стакан; Stakan), because of the flat glass plates that surround earlier Mi-24 variants' cockpits.

A LiDAR landscape of the key archaeological features around Stonehenge including Stonehenge itself, The Avenue, the Cursus and numerous barrow burial mounds. The 1 metre LiDAR is only partial at Stonehenge with many of the sites to the west not included in the current opendata coverage. This is a digital terrain model version which represents the bare ground surface only so prominent buildings, trees and even the stones of the Stonehenge circles are stripped off in this case. 

Created using 1 metre DTM LiDAR opendata provided by the Environment Agency. Built in QGIS using the QGIS2threeJS plugin.

Scrap Baby has a somewhat mangled appearance. Her hair is comprised of light orange, dark orange, and grey blue wires that lay flat on her forehead, but spike up in pigtails on the side of her head. Her neck has no metal covering, exposing the wires that lie underneath. She wears on orange bikini with puffy red sleeves. Two large circles, perhaps the remains of speakers, are placed haphazardly in the middle of her chest. One of her hands has been substituted for the claw that once came out of her chest. The other hand has no metal covering, exposing the claw-like wires underneath. Her legs are halfway covered with a thin metal covering, but wires still poke out from underneath. She has red kneecaps, which could be kneepads, considering she has roller skates rather than jester shoes she had in her previous form. Blue pins erupt from her shoulders and part of her thigh, and possibly a crown is adorned on her head. Her face bares somewhat of a resemblance to her past self. and other stuff

19th-century slate headstone of Patrick Madden (born c. 1829) who died aged 36 in 1865 & was buried in Nenagh graveyard, Kenyon Street, Co. Tipperary.  The inscription is framed within a border of semi-circles and double incised line running up along either side of the headstone.  The top of the headstone has a double-line inscised Latin Cross with expanded terminals, flanked on either site by an incised heart.  Above the hearts either side of the cross are lozenges framed within a decorative panel.  Two curvilinear lozenges are visible either side of the cross base.  Four leaf-cross withere side of the incised hearts.  Symbols on top of the headstone framed by border of semi-circles which may represent the folds of a a curtain pulled back to reveal the symbols.  Possible curvilinear sunburst quadrants in the corners of the border of the symbols and inscription panel. The horizontal lines visible on the inscription are ruling lines used by the stonecutter to set height, alignment, & spacing of the letters.

Female statuette-vessel, modeled without a head. The silhouette is notable for the massiveness of the upper half of the body. The thin arms preserve the proportion of the vessel's handles. The palms, with the five fingers in a non-anatomical position, have been exaggerated in size to have a larger surface area for the base of the handles to grip the vessel's body. The incised decoration, consisting of concentric circles, triangles and other figurative elements arranged in the anatomical-functional parts of the human body, symbolizes fecundity, fertility and the practice of solar worship.
The statuette is unique among similar Neolithic pieces in Europe. For conservation reasons, the statuette is not exhibited in the museum's main exhibition, being in danger of destruction due to its fragility and age.

The statuette dates back to the Neolithic, Gumelnița culture, around 5000 BC.
Place of discovery: Ilfov county, Vidra commune, Vidra, Vidra Tell.

Plate with divergent walls and a flat base, decorated at the center with the image of a stylized deity bearing a shell and a monstrous head, associating the figure with the aquatic underworld. Surrounding the central image are several oval elements related to water, as well as red and black volutes. A decorative band, divided into two sections, encircles the interior wall: one section features black triangles, while the other displays stepped fret motifs and additional abstract elements. The piece was ritually "killed", with a intentional perforation at the center.

Beyond manual sculpting: this is pure computational topology. 
This model is the direct, deterministic 3D output of the Polytopic Archetypal Projection Protocol (PAPP).
The Origin: The mathematical seed is the "Flower of Life", the fundamental matrix of sacred geometry based on overlapping circles with hexagonal symmetry. Its 2D ratios were extracted and fed into our "algebraic transducer".
The Pipeline: The algorithm processed these constants via Continued Fractions and Pythagorean reductions, mapping the data onto a Fibonacci lattice in a 4D hypersphere ($S^3$). 
Finally, the space was projected into 3D via a Hopf fibration ($S^3 \rightarrow S^2$).
The Result (V309): The mathematical coherence of the Flower of Life does not produce chaotic noise. 
It forces the system to naturally collapse into a dense, highly interconnected, and topologically closed ($\chi=2$) spatial lattice. 
An architecture of pure algebraic mechanics.
Procedurally generated via the PAPP Framework (Python/SciPy/NetworkX).

Polychrome tripod plate with curving, flaring walls and conical supports. The interior decoration portrays a seated figure wearing an elaborate headdress and circular ear ornaments, with flexed arms, a short skirt, and red body paint applied to the skin. The figure is encircled by three red circles and framed by a decorative band composed of four paired vertical panels in orange with black on a cream ground, alternating with vertical red bands. At the center of the plate is an intentionally made circular perforation, corresponding to the act of “killing” the vessel, a practice commonly associated with intentional deposits. NAA of the ceramic paste indicates a likely area of manufacture in the vicinity between Caracol and Nakúm, in eastern Petén.

A smaller surface in relation to the many very large carved rocks at Foppe di Nadro.  The rock has been extensively smoothed by glacial action.

The engravings here represent two phases of carving.  The first phast presents engravings from the Neolithic Age (4th millennium BC), with 28 praying figures, of which several can be seen here on the 3D model.  They have both schematic and curved arms.  These are contemporary with the circle motifs with a dot in the centre and two figures recognisable as halberds.

The second phase starts from the Middle IronAge and the panel is densely engraved with figures of warriors wielding swords, shields & spears.

The rock also displays some historic phase motifs, with filiforms of lines, half-circles and grids and some Medieval crosses.

The Priddy Circles are probably Neolithic ritual or ceremonial monuments similar to a henge but this interpretation is somewhat speculative due to the presence of external rather than internal ditches.

WAGARA 03 (V3) encodes a Japanese pattern morph: Kikkō (亀甲) tortoiseshell hex lattice at the core continuously transforms into Shippō (七宝) interlocking circles toward the outer ring. 

The transition preserves the shared circle-based “DNA”: Bishamon-Kikkō depth illusion (3 rotational hex subsets) blends into Shippō-Tsunagi vesica-piscis peaks at circle intersections. 

Geometry is generated through the PAPP 6-stage pipeline (φ-RG → continued fraction → Pythagorean triple → S³ sampling → Hopf fibration → stereographic field), then mapped onto a full 360° sphere via dual Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection with a smooth ±15° equatorial blend.

The IIUM Roadmap 2023-2024 strategy framework is made up of overlapping circles resulting in several domains. As the circle overlap, the shade of the domains colour becomes darker. The darkest shade domain shows where the circles overlap the most (i.e. humanising education). Overlapping circles represent the need to work together and eliminate silos, and that everyone is involved in the Whole Institution Transformation. When looked upon in 3D form, the framework can be interpreted as having several layers.

Narrow necked jar with stucco decoration

**Collection:** Prehistory and Historical Archeology Dept.

**Inv.-No.:** [UF-4564](https://www.online.landessammlungen-noe.at/objects/1033790)

**Material:** Bronze

**Dimensions:** 10 x 2 cm, 6,8 mm

**Dating:** 450-251 BCE

The function of this bronze fitting remains unknown. This object could be described as a 'piece of jewellery'. It is richly decorated and crescent-shaped. It was crafted using the repoussé technique. The two circles and the teardrop-shaped element in the middle could be interpreted as an anthropomorphic face, similar to early figurative Latène art. The artefact is composed of two thin bronze sheets that have been welded together. It was presumably attached using rivets made of leather or fabric.

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