“There's a long history of creating replicas of the human body as a way of understanding its anatomy and function. In some contexts, such objects were also imbued with spiritual significance. In early Etruscan and Norse cultures, for example, votive offerings were created of particular body parts, which were used in rituals meant to cure illness or ward off disease.”
– Ernst van der Wal
