Carved for the tomb of Julius II, this figure has only lightly indicated bonds: a thin band across the chest and one arm folded overhead. The pose combines the conventions of captivity, sleep, and release.
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.
