3D Scholarly Edition:
This 3D scholarly edition was created by Federica Di Biase as part of the postdoctoral research project "Digital Storytelling in Cultural Heritage Institutions of Small Mediterranean Islands". It serves as complementary material to the author’s research on object-based narratives in digital environments, providing a case study to reflect on best practices.
The project is funded by the European Union’s YUFE4Postdocs - Marie Skłodowska-Curie program as a Postdoctoral Fellowship. However, the views and opinions expressed in this work are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Research Executive Agency (REA). Neither the European Union nor the granting authority can be held responsible for them.
Acknowledgements:
The processing and writing of this edition were primarily conducted at Maastricht University, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, where I was hosted during my project’s secondment. I want to thank Prof. Costas Papadopoulos, co-supervisor of my research, for his warm support during my stay at Maastricht. Special thanks also go to Kelly Gillikin Schoueri for her invaluable assistance during the creation of this edition.
Special thanks to the Museum Curator and Foundation Executive Director, Miss Christalla Loizou, the Photos Photiades family, and the Public Benefit, Scientific, and Cultural Foundation ‘Photos Photiades’ for allowing me to work on the 3D edition of the Tambourine Player figurine. Their support in facilitating the photo shoot within the museum, providing additional information on the collection's acquisition history, and fostering continuous and constructive discussions about my work have been invaluable.
