Apis was a living bull selected by priests at Memphis and honored after death. This representation is carved from serpentinite, whose dark surface changes subtly under different lighting.
How to use the model
Examine the work from more than one angle.
Use the 3D view to inspect the overall form, then zoom in to compare surface, joins, and tool marks. Lighting controls can make shallow carving and material changes easier to see.
