[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: [QB] this thread was a nice attempt by Kalonji. (Nigella sativa) However lot of these wood coffins are inferior in realism compared to stone sculpture and plaster. Some of the plaster heads are very realistic especially if uncolored and unadorned. These can be similar looking to European plaster death masks of the middle ages which were cast from the actual dead person's head. Some of the stone sculptures are finely crafted important larger sculptures and others are not as well crafted smaller less significant sculptures. In the finer works there are realistic pieces that look like accurate human being's heads and there are other fine pieces where the proportions are artistically stylized as with some of the famous sculptures of Akhenaten where the head and neck are elongated in impossible proportions. If you compare this to the plaster heads of Akhenaten and members of his court the plaster heads are in realistic proportions. _________________________________________ Problems with facial reconstruction There are multiple outstanding problems associated with forensic facial reconstruction. The most pressing issue relates to the data used to average facial tissue thickness. The data available to forensic artists are still very limited in ranges of ages, sexes, and body builds. This disparity greatly affects the accuracy of reconstructions. Until this data is expanded, the likelihood of producing the most accurate reconstruction possible is largely limited. A second problem is the lack of a methodological standardization in approximating facial features. A single, official method for reconstructing the face has yet to be recognized. This also presents major setback in facial approximation because facial features like the eyes and nose and individuating characteristics like hairstyle - the features most likely to be recalled by witnesses - lack a standard way of being reconstructed. Recent research on computer-assisted methods, which take advantage of digital image processing, pattern recognition, promises to overcome current limitations in facial reconstruction and linkage. Reconstructions only reveal the type of face a person may have exhibited because of artistic subjectivity. The position and general shape of the main facial features are mostly accurate because they are greatly determined by the skull. Given these problems if you are comparing a realistic stone sculpture or plaster head to a modern facial reconstruction at least it can be said that in many cases the sculpture was produced by artisans who had actually studied the person in the flesh. Look at the seated scribe posted by Dehooti It doesn't matter which film version the orangey or the brown, most definitely looks like some thinned lipped Indian bro File this with the Tut bust under Why do Afrocentrists pass off this sculpture as Negro?
