Thumbs up to Philippe, the owner of my neighboorhood antiques shop (La Brocante du Phare in Roscoff), who agreed to lend me this statuette but did not have much info: It is a buddha, is not made out of Jade, is heavy and about 25cm tall ;)

My scanning “rig”: Canon EOS 1100D (one of the cheapest DSLR 6 years ago), cheap Amazon lens-flash, Ikea furniture. And yes, I used my paper bin !

Colmap gave better results than Photoscan… 146 pictures.

I had to manually carve (and smooth) the space between the arm and the body.

Processing…
