Votive Male Head

This is a mold-formed votive head made out of clay. The facial structure suggests that the individual is a male, with a long “Roman” nose. The youthful male has curls that frame his face with a possible veil on top of the curls. This votive was found along with several other figurines such as KM 0000.00.1764 in the ancient city of Veii. The votive was likely hung as decoration based on the hole on the back of the object which would have been used to suspend the votive in some manner.

The downloadable files are in an .STL format which is optimal for 3D printing. We suggest using a free software such as Meshmixer to edit the file to your needs. Some objects may need supports added or should be hollowed out for the most efficient printing. Any questions about 3D printing should be directed to kelsey.disko.project@umich.edu.
