This 3D-printed Museum Replica depicts a standing male figure from ancient Egypt’s Middle Kingdom, dating to approximately 1980–1801 BCE during Dynasty 12. Originating from a funerary context, the object embodies Egyptian concepts of the afterlife, where such representations served as activated substitutes to assist the deceased eternally through ritual empowerment. The figure adopts a frontal, hieratic stance with arms held close to the body, clad in a simple kilt, and features an idealized yet subtly individualized face, reflecting the period’s emphasis on controlled realism and moral restraint.
Model Figure of a Man is available in the following materials:
– White Nylon: Polished for a smooth surface finish, offering the most economical option.
– Black Nylon: Treated post-printing with a Color Touch finish for enhanced resistance to external conditions, scratching, and rubbing; ensures stable, consistent coloration across batches with a uniform, high-quality surface.
– Bronze: Produced through metal casting, where a wax master model is 3D-printed, embedded in a plaster mold, and replaced by molten metal for an elegant, durable metallic appearance.
– Gold Plated Brass and White Rhodium Plated Brass: Similarly cast from a 3D-printed wax master, then plated for a refined, luxurious finish.
