Elevate your collection with this meticulously crafted 3D-printed replica of a “Portable Buddhist Temple,” originating from Bihar, Eastern India, and dating back to the 900s. This faithful reproduction captures the essence of the original artifact, a testament to the devotion and artistic excellence of early Buddhist artisans.
Measuring 28 x 9 x 9 cm (11 x 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches), this replica mirrors the compact yet intricate design of the original temple, which was carved from kaolinite, a material celebrated for its ability to achieve finely detailed carvings. The temple’s square base features large niches on each side, each meticulously replicating the scenes from the life of Gautama Buddha, including the iconic depiction of Maha Maya’s prophetic dream of the six-tusked white elephant—a profound symbol of the Buddha’s conception and destiny.
This 3D-printed copy maintains the visual and structural integrity of the original artifact, offering an opportunity to own a piece of history that reflects the rich spiritual and cultural heritage of the period. Ideal for collectors, educators, and those with a deep interest in Buddhist art and history, this replica serves as a unique, tangible connection to the past.
Products cast in brass or bronze often have smaller dimensions than the original design to accommodate the manufacturing process.
