Head of a Homeric Hero

I captured this at The British Museum using ReCap360 and my iPhone 6S. The scan was cleaned up in MeshMixer before uploading. I've also included the raw scan data if you'd like to process it yourself.

Head of a Homeric hero
Roman marble version of a lost
Hellenistic original

Another version of this head was found together with the body, at Sperlonga, south of Rome. There it belonged to a figure, portraying a wineskin-carrier, in a group showing the blinding of Polyphemos by Odysseus and his men. The Sperlonga group, dating to the 1st century AD, is a copy of an earlier Hellenistic original of around 200 BC.
