Still, you can tell the sculpture does present a generally recognizable representation of her. Pretty cool!

[@trojanette8345]

It could have been that the sarcophagi figure may have been done in her younger days - assuming that the stone casket was started when she was much younger and finished only at the time of her death when it was really needed. Just my theory.

Beautiful work sir I am an amateur artist who has had to self teach myself all that you speak of people thinks that’s easy, it’s difficult for those who aren’t taught to 🤔 about the results of muscles nerve age, lots of tiny things we don’t think of so bless you sir because you have been doing your job along time . Beautiful work! That’s the part of the nose that changes in every one and depending on nationality it’s going to give you how rapidly she’s aged I realize nose will dip eyes are hooded heavily or sunken deeper depending on the physical body weight and such will allow for double chin or not lips full an pouty younger looks ears extremely long aged so much depending on Scottish Irish Italian German Swedish, Dutch, Baltic ,Spanish all matters so all has to be considered an of course shape size of skull . It’s all a puzzle that’s got to be done by an artist of this mans intelligent knowledge on exactly how this lady truly looks as she may have set for this sculpture of her coffin. Great work sir!

Etruscans, though, lived in a time when flabby meant wealth. They had a different idea of "ideal" bodies.

My masters. I have Making Faces in my library. A big hug!

Thank You, this is very nice, however, with new technology being able to tell the hair color and skin color and much more, I think she should be redone. This woman fascinates me, I don't know why I feel so drawn to her.

An out of body experience looking at the developing face.

[@cezza57]

Has anyone somehow done a reconstruction of someone alive today and compared how close they got the similarities?

[@CurtisD01]

yes... just google it

[@susandoll3187]

I think ancient Egypt is more likely to have provided the earliest named portraits. Look at some of the "reserve heads" from Giza, or later portrait heads. What is the date of this sarcophagus?

[@jacquilayton2557]

Why is it in most of these reconstruction videos they use brown eyes?

[@wendynicklin7693]

Really interesting 🤓

[@user-jc8tj5co7d]

Should be able to animate them 3d wise todays tech.

[@deborahphillips9890]

they don't look alike to me

[@CurtisD01]

yes they do... do you understand that they made the person look better? defiantly on something like a tomb effigy

[@rameyzamora1018]

Sorry to disagree, but the reconstruction of facial features is not at all "totally objective." Ear shape, nose shape, lip shape, scars, birthmarks, eye color and lid shape and hair line are only a few of the many non-arbitrary elements of a reconstruction. I call bS on this.

[@johnclhugyugihjbvgbkj9729]

Ha read the comment of yours where you said, “totally objective” as he said if.
