Jug / Kanne

3D Model

Bronze alloy, 296 x 167 x 159 mm, Eastern Iran or Afghanistan, 11th to mid-12th centuries.

This engraved cylindrical jug from the Bumiller Collection has a high, beak-shaped spout, a medallion in the middle of the body, and a ribbon with blessings in Arabic script on the shoulder and neck.

The jug was scanned using an Artec Spider structured light scanner and processed in Artec Studio with some additional processing in Geomagic Wrap. The scan was carried out by students on the University of Bamberg’s Digitale Denkmaltechnologien (Digital Technologies in Heritage Conservation) Masters programme during their 2020 practical week.
