In 79 AD the volcano Mount Vesuvius in Italy errupted without
warning and the city of Pompeii was burried under a layer of
volcanic ash and pumice preserving the unlucky inhabitants forever.
Excavated some 1600 years later their last moments have been
created in plaster.
Once the ash and debris had covered the body of the unfortunate
Roman the body eventually decayed leaving an empty space, excavators
realised this and filled the air pockets with plaster creating
a mould of the deceased. |
