SculptJanuary18: Day 21: Ancient. The Guennol Lioness. It’s a 5,000-year-old Mesopotamian statue found near Baghdad, Iraq. Depicting a muscular anthropomorphic lioness-woman, it sold for $57.2 million at Sotheby’s auction house on December 5, 2007 (it was the highest price paid for a sculpture to that date). The historical significance of this limestone sculpture of 8cm tall, Elamite figure created circa 3000-2800 BC is that it is thought to have been created at approximately the same time as the first known use of the wheel, the development of cuneiform writing, and the emergence of the first cities.
You can download the file in .blend format (the software I used) and the STL ready for 3D print (the size is 8cm tall, exactly like the original figure, but obviously you can scale it to any other size).

@juang3d far too much money mek folk stupid. I bet they listen to muzak as well.
@88Rapunzael88 Hey, mate! I've seen that you bought the model. Thanks a lot!
Hope you'll get a nice 3D printed statue. Yes, I saw that the golden aspect of the model was working weird. I fixed the issue. Thanks for letting me know. And yes, the stick-insect-man (hahaha) stinks a lot. I don't understand how people pay that huge amount of money for such a stupid art.
I couldn't stop laughing at L'Homme Qui Marche that is literally a stick-insect-man clumped together in metal. It sold for 65 million dollars, 7 million more than the Guennol moreover lacks any sculptural detail whatsoever to speak of. Oh this transient Post -Modern fARTworld is a pyramid of back-scratchers!!!
Glorious in Gold LOL!!!
@88Rapunzael88 Glad that you like it!
