More model informationThe Swedish History Museum holds a large collection of bones of various kinds, including human remains. We living humans are both appalled by and attracted to visible evidence of death. The scanned human remains presented on Sketchfab from our museum are important museum artefacts, chosen because they represent a specific historical event. They also represent one of humanity’s worst acts: violence towards other humans. It is therefore our wish that you, as a viewer, use the 3D-models with respect.
The image shows a human cranium with injuries on its left and front side. A small, square hole above the left eye and on the left cheek bone was probably caused by a pole weapon or a battle axe. The gash across the mouth could have been caused by a sword or a thin bladed axe.The cranium is one of several thousand artifacts found in a mass grave outside Visby on the island Gotland. All remains and objects found on the site stem from a battle between Gotlandic peasants and Danish mercenaries on 27 July 1361.

Hello there.
i am an historical enthusiast and also doing HEMA.
When i did read an article of Battle of Visby, i discovered this digital skull.
Interested as i was, also owning a 3D-Printer, i printed this skull in an 1:10 scale for my research group.
@Douglas.Machado1 Hi my friend! Did you read the article detailing the approximation process? It wasn't just one form of projection, but several and independent projection, the final aspect is the interpolation of the data. Here's the link: ortogonline.com/doc/pt_br/OrtogOnLineMag... A big hug!
I would like to do another facial reconstruction to compare with tha last one made by Cicero de Moraes. I believe the first one has some anatomical issues due it was not a digital sculpt, but a superimposition of a face model just adapting to the landmarks
Thanks!
Thank you very much! We publish an study about photogrammetry with this model: ortogonline.com/doc/pt_br/OrtogOnLineMag...

Thank you! @abbyec
Wonderful detail and background info! It's got my staff pick. :)
@bartv Wish granted
This would look great with a ground shadow:

That's an impressive facial wound. The cleanly cut tooth and jaw indicates a pretty sharp sword. Also no signs of healing, so clearly he did not survive this encounter.
