Design Details:
This replica preserves the high-backed throne adorned with elaborate carvings, the Christ Child’s raised hand in blessing, and the scroll symbolizing divine wisdom. The hovering angels and rigid, emotionless expressions of the figures adhere to Byzantine conventions, prioritizing theological clarity over realism. Each material option highlights the exceptional relief work and symbolic depth of the original Stroganoff Ivory.
Note on Scale:
Due to production constraints in the selected materials, replicas exceeding the maximum size limitations of the printing or casting processes are scaled down proportionally from the original dimensions of 25.3 x 17.2 x 1.8 cm. This ensures compatibility with manufacturing techniques while retaining the artifact’s intricate details.
