This 3D-printed Museum Replica faithfully reproduces a finely carved limestone ostracon from the Ptolemaic dynasty (305–30 BCE), a sculptor’s trial piece or model. One side features a profile jackal head possibly representing Anubis, god of mummification and protector of the dead. The reverse depicts a goddess, likely Isis, in traditional Egyptian style: strict profile view, frontal torso, elaborate wig, broad collar necklace, and exposed breast symbolizing nurturing and fertility. The original measures 8.3 × 6.5 × 1.4 cm and exemplifies the continuity of Egyptian religious iconography under Ptolemaic rule, blending precise hieratic forms with subtle workshop experimentation.
Available materials for the Double-Sided Votive Relief:
- White Nylon – Polished finish for a smooth tactile surface; the most economical option.
- Black Nylon – Color Touch post-processing provides resistance to scratching, rubbing, and external conditions; delivers uniform, consistent color across production batches with high surface quality.
- Bronze – Produced via lost-wax metal casting from a 3D-printed wax master model; yields an elegant, timeless metallic appearance.
- Gold Plated Brass – Lost-wax cast brass with gold plating; provides a luxurious, radiant gold surface.
- White Rhodium Plated Brass – Lost-wax cast brass with white rhodium plating; achieves a bright, platinum-like sheen with enhanced durability.
