A 3D print of the digital model in a person's hand.
A plaster casting alongside the 3D print.
This is a 3D print from the model, and the 3D print alongside a plaster casting made from the print (via a silicone mould). Now to paint it!

Drawing of bead and bangle mould, by Frans Roodt (MA, 1993)
3D model of mould
While well documented (drawings and some photos), the original has been misplaced. So I built a 3D model based on these resources

A black-and-white photograph of a carved Schist bead and bangle mould excavated in Zululand in 1974.
Given some of the discourse about copies on here recently, though I'd post a thing I've been working on for a museum. It's a carved schist mould, used in early-mid 19th century Zululand to cast brass beads and wire (for bangles).

Screenshot of an old tweet from 2020. It reads: PhD student, c.2020: Here's a limited argument I made based on years of specialised research. Hope it's OK. Slightly sad face emoji. Philosopher dude, c.1770: Here are some Thoughts I had in the Bath. They constitute Universal & Self-Evident Laws of Nature. FIGHT ME.
Even if it were true...
