Their is an open problem still debated by scholars, who have based their studies on comparisons pictures as reassembly artefacts was never attempted. critical issue has conditioned curators museums, could not develop proper communication policy for objects, resulting limited cognitive accessibility public. By means 3D scanning techniques, this contribution showcases how virtual restoration can only improve interpretations but also boost plans giving back public via web platform masterpiece known just specialists.
