Anatomical figure – écorché

This is a 3D model of a Neoclassical statuette, which copies an ancient marble statue in the National Archaeological Museum (Naples). It displays a woman (the goddess Aphrodite? a mortal?) partially draped in her robes. This pose and subject is a statue type called the “Aphrodite Kallipygian” (Callipygian Venus). This modern name came from the Greek words *kallos* (beauty) + *pyge* (buttocks). The original Roman work dates from the 1st c. BCE. It was recovered in the 16th c. missing its head.

The caduceus is the staff carried by Hermes in Greek mythology and consequently by Hermes Trismegistus in Greco-Egyptian mythology. The same staff was also borne by heralds in general, for example by Iris, the messenger of Hera. It is a short staff entwined by two serpents, sometimes surmounted by wings. In Roman iconography, it was often depicted being carried in the left hand of Mercury, the messenger of the gods, guide of the dead, and protector of merchants, shepherds, gamblers, liars, and thieves.

Thumbs up to Philippe, the owner of my neighboorhood antiques shop ([La Brocante du Phare](http://goo.gl/szA4Sa) in Roscoff), who agreed to lend me this statuette but did not have much info: It is a buddha, is not made out of Jade, is heavy and about 25cm tall ;)

Baby Animals Statuettes

This Sea Lion statuette is one of my favorite pieces of decoration from the living room of my family's house in Brittany in France (scanned [here](https://skfb.ly/6RPyx)), which we usually keep somewhere around the fireplace (scanned [there](https://skfb.ly/6TEsv) too 😉).

The statuette is approximately 20cm long, made of very light resin, and painted with a nice chipped wood effect.

Although - quoting Wikipedia here - [eared seals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eared_seal) are conspicuously absent in the north Atlantic, there are a lot of [grey seals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_seal) in the region: if you ever go to Brittany, I'd recommend making the trip to the natural reserve of the [Sept-Iles archipelago](https://goo.gl/maps/md8EvWvR2hh5P6URA), where you'll have the most chances to see them !

The man, as an écorché anatomical model, is skinless so his tendons and muscles are clearly visible. Écorché models were widely used by artists to practice drawing and to improve their knowledge of the human body.

Statuette Of A Jackal - Optimised Re-Upload

This statuette depicts Ptah, the chief god of Egypt's capital city Memphis and master craftsman of the gods. He is easy to identify by his tight-fitting cap, straight beard (different from the usual curved divine beard on other gods), and enveloping mummiform garment. The garment has a shallow stiff upper edge along the back of the neck, a feature that occurs with some regularity also on Osiris statuettes, but its meaning is unclear. Commonly Ptah holds a scepter that combines the symbols for life (ankh), dominion (was), and stability (djed), but here he holds only the was scepter, hearkening back to earlier representations of the god. Ptah was a benevolent and approachable god, characteristics that may have inspired his devotees to dedicate numerous representations of him in the Late and Ptolemaic Periods.

Period: Late Period–Ptolemaic Period
Date: 664–30 B.C.
Geography: From Egypt
Medium: Cupreous metal
Dimensions: H. 10.8 cm (4 1/4 in.); W. 3.3 cm (1 5/16 in.); D. 2 cm (13/16 in.)

Statuette Ptah | 3D Printable

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.
