What did Sappho really look like? This bust brings her face into your room, captured from a detailed 3D scan of the original sculpture. You get the same fine detail found in the scan, from the curve of her hair to the set of her eyes.
The bust has a flat bottom, so it sits on a shelf, desk, or mantle. It is printed in white PLA, giving it a matte look that reads like plaster from across the room. The scan comes from Artec 3D's gallery of scanned artifacts, and this version keeps the original head shape and detail intact.
It suits anyone who loves classic busts, ancient poetry, or quiet decor with a story behind it. Set it near your books or on a windowsill where the light can catch her face.
