Object | Problem | Solution | Alternative |

Turban (salla) | The turban's undoing while it was being taken out of the display case | The scan was carried out on a live model, i.e. on the head of a museum employee, which unfortunately led to (i) a significantly larger area of defects (5%) compared to the scan of the cloth, (ii) the impossibility of scanning both sides of the overhanging part of the turban due to adherence to the model's figure | Scanning on a specialised mannequin consisting only of a part of the head, placed on a tripod The use of such a solution leads to: (i) the overhanging part of the turban does not adhere to the model figure and can be scanned, (ii) the necessity to have such a device (in the display case the turban was presented on a makeshift wooden skeleton) |
