Research focus Title: Venus Anadyomene
Research focus Category: Object/artwork
Research focus Description: Statuette of Crouching Venus, dated to the 1st century BC. Place of discovery: impluvium of the atrium of the House of the Triclinium, V 2, 4, Pompeii. The statuette represents a well-known and widespread iconography: Venus emerging from the water, kneeling on her right leg, which rests on a small column, wringing out her hair. Her hairstyle is parted in the middle, with lateral strands divided like small serpents, culminating in two long braids.
Research focus Reference: MANN inv. 114536

Research Activity Type: Object Examination/Digital image-video acquisition
Technique: Digital microsopy (2D)
Technique Category: 2D imaging
Method Description: Portable microscope to acquire high magnification images. Observation at high magnification allows us to document the presence of residual polychromy, to examine the morphology and to extrapolate information about the stratigraphic sequence and the presence of complex mixtures or repainting
Tool / Equipment (or Software) Description: AM7013MZT (R4) (20–200x) by Dino-Lite USB microscope portable microscope was used to acquire images at high magnification
Tool / Equipment (or Software) reference: https://www.dino-lite.com/products_detail.php?index_m1_id=9&index_m2_id=36&index_id=48
ROI or target area or spot size: 6x8 mm (50X), 1.8x1.4 mm (220X).
Examination Methodology: acquisition of an image selecting the desired magnification (50X, 220X)
Equipment setup - Experimental: Acquisition on contact with the surface
Output interpretation: extrapolation of information by image observation

Object Examination Scale: Micro
Examination Class or Type: Single
Specific Scope linked to the Project: examination of residual polychromy on a marble statue
Measurable Entity / Property: morphology
Material Category: pigments, dyes, marble, alteration products
