This is a casted clay statue from 1995 that was never fired because it had the possibility of having air pockets. It was recently scanned with a MakerBot Digitizer desktop 3D scanner.

UPDATE 4/18:
1. Added a model with a flat bottom
2. Added a voronoi version with an open bottom to get the supports out.
3. Created a hollow one with a large hole in the base to be illuminated.
