A Candy dish. Makes a great gift. This is a remix of a model from the Lincolnshire museum based on the original sculpture. (http://lincoln3dscans.co.uk/lowenthal-bust-one/). I hollowed it out and added the hinge to turn it into a candy dish. Those are mini m&ms in the bowl to give you an idea of scale. The hinge uses a piece of 1.75 mm filament as the hinge pin. For a finish I primed it and then applied a mix of real bronze powder and glue followed by a coat of varathane. The bronze had to be polished first. I'm sure it will look nice with just paint as well or leave it raw. This is my holiday gift to a number of friends and family. Maybe it will be yours too. There is a version on thingiverse that is free but the hinge is too large and awkward. It took some time to shrink it and get it right, hence the charge here.
