Early Christian Carved Figure 5, White Island (3D Model)
One of eight stone early Christian figures located at White Island ecclesiastical settlement. Figurehas distinctive curly hair, and holds the necks of two part-bird, part-animal creatures; these may be gryphons, symbolising the dual nature of Christ, part human, part divine. A panel of broad-ribbon interlace on the right hand side of this stone creates the impression of a decorated chair.NISMR No.…

Provenance
- Close Range Scanning. The Artec EVA scanner is used to generate high resolution models of surfaces with small scale detail. The Artec EVA uses structured light to record. A forensics tent is used to create a controlled lighting environment and ensure measurement can proceed regardless of the weather when used outdoors. Scanning is undertaken with the fastest speed setting (15 frames per second) and with a minimum 400 mm depth of field. The data is recorded with sufficient overlap between scans to ensure easy registration.

If required, a textured surface can also be created. The model is exported from Artec Studio 9 as an .obj file. For dissemination purposes a 3D pdf of the model is generated using Geomagic Studio 2012.
