Yanka Kupala – Belarusian Poet Bust

3D-scanned model of a bust of Yanka Kupala (Ivan Lutsevich, 1882-1942), a classic of Belarusian literature.

This is a 3D-printable model of Yanka Kupala, the national poet of Belarus, author of “And Who Goes There?” and “The Barrow” and a key figure of the Belarusian national revival of the early 20th century.

The model was created by 3D scanning a real bust of the poet from my great-grandmother’s collection. My great-grandmother left Belarus in the 1960s, and the bust is a piece of our family history. The scan preserves the genuine proportions and fine surface details of the piece. This is a high-quality polygonal model with about 360,000 polygons: after scanning, the mesh was cleaned, repaired and optimized for printing, so it prints cleanly and keeps its detail. Ready for 3D printing.

Great for: - desk or bookshelf decoration - gifts for literature lovers and teachers - museums, schools, libraries and cultural projects - collectors of historical figure miniatures
