Upper garment of traditional dress

Description

An upper garment of traditional dress **made of red cloth**, with long sleeves. It was scanned with the sleeves spread, so the model spans **1.63 m** from cuff to cuff.

Like the other textiles in the collection, it was scanned as a surface. The colour model keeps the colour and folds of the cloth; a plaque with the relief of the outline and a miniature were prepared for 3D printing.

The date, origin and inventory details of the object have not been established.

## 3D scan

The object was recorded by contact-free 3D scanning. The source model has **4.8 million triangles**, with an average triangle edge of about **0.74 mm**: the finest measure of shape the model retains. The surface colour was captured in an 8,192 × 8,192 pixel texture, about 4.9 pixels per millimetre of surface. The mesh is not closed, as part of the surface was not recorded, so the surface area, 11,297.8 cm², was measured but the volume was not. For the web the model was reduced to 150,000 triangles and a 2,048-pixel texture; the source scan is kept for documentation, technical drawings and printing replicas.
