The two wrestlers are carved as an interlocked marble group. From a low viewpoint, the lower figure’s arm can be seen behind his back and the points of contact—knee, hip, and grip—show how weight is distributed.

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.
