Nio Temple Guardian

Description

A failed but interesting scan of a larger-than life Nio guardian figure, now protecting the galleries at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. More information about the figure here: http://collections.artsmia.org/art/3214/vajra-warrior-japan Scanned with both an 80-megapixel and a 20-megapixel camera, about 80 images total; the figure is in a corner so it's hard to get images of its left side or back. But we liked the scan anyway, and thought we'd share it. For a high-res version of the scan, contact permissions@artsmia.org .
