This sculpture, which dates from around the 9th century A.D., is from an archaeological site of Dharasu in Uttarakhand. The sculpture depicts Agni, the Vedic fire god of Hinduism. He is also the guardian deity of the southeast direction and is typically found in southeast corners of Hindu temples. It was 3D scanned with a Structure Scanner attached to an iPad Mini 4 on May 11, 2018, in the Museum of Himalayan Archaeology and Ethnography at HNB Garhwal University in Srinagar (Garhwal), Uttarakhand, India. The statue was laying down as it was not stable in a vertical position, so its back was not 3D scanned. Courtesy of HNB Garhwal University.

The Virtual Curation Laboratory at VCU formed through a project with the U.S. Department of Defense’s Legacy Program to develop a digital data project that incorporates the use of a three-dimensional object scanner in recording American Indian and historic artifacts for analysis and conservation. The Virtual Curation Laboratory now partners with institutions across the planet to 3D scan paleontological, archaeological, and historically significant items with the goal of sharing them freely with the world.
