Abstract
The implementation of digital technology in cultural heritage in Indonesia started to develop in the past decade. However, Indonesia's iconography studies have not optimized to utilize these advanced approaches. While in some other countries, iconographic documentation is upgrading to an advanced method, such as recording objects in 3D form and archiving it into secure digital data, thus the data more natural and realistic in three-dimensional documentation. It also catches and records the shape from all perspectives to bring neither a specific nor comprehensive observation. Therefore, it can extend the analysis for interpretation and preservation purposes. This article discusses the implementation of photogrammetry towards sculpture objects in Indonesia. The object selection went to several sculptures from the Ancient Mataram period in Java, which ruled from the 8th to 10th centuries AD. Close-range photogrammetry successfully generates the sculpture data into three-dimensional digital form. The results could support the Ancient Mataram sculptures studies in particular and improve Indonesia's iconography studies in general.
