Moche Vessel in Low Light Conditions

The Moche Skeletal Potato Bottle from the pre-Inca Moche civilization (ca. 250–850 CE) features a dynamic shape of recession and protrusion in the hollowed sockets, exaggerated eyelids, sunken triangular nose, high set cheekbones and angular form of the chin. In the interest of the vessel's unique mold, draping shadows produces an enigmatic effect on the burial object in digitally fabricated low light conditions. This interactive photogrammetric model permits the observer to grasp a sense of the surface molding that is otherwise difficult to visualize in 2-dimensional representations.
