Gustav, One Of The Victims Of The Vasa

This is a reconstruction of Gustav's head made from the remains of his skull based on advanced computer technology. It is astounding
to me that a head could be created this way from an event that occurred in 1628.

Note that a second individual's face will also be posted. I did not take notes at the time I made these photographs, but I believe
the individual in this photo was Gustav.

Utterly amazing to see these reconstructions and your excellent shots of them, especially in the low light usually found in the museums. I'm totally fascinated!!!
