Head & Shoulders

The head & shoulders of the West Mebon Viṣṇu were found in 1936,  buried face down above the many pieces of the sculpture. Some of these fragments are depicted below in photogrammetric models. These models were floated onto a digital wire frame to examine how much of the sculpture was missing and what the possible configuration of the sculpture would have been when it was emplaced in the middle of the West Mebon.
