This 3D-printed replica of a Shinto deity sculpture, originally crafted in Japan during the Heian period (794–1185 CE), offers a faithful reproduction of the historical artifact housed in the Cleveland Museum of Art. The sculpture, representing one of the kami—deities venerated in the Shinto religion—was meticulously recreated using advanced 3D printing techniques to capture the intricate details of the original work.
The replica is available in a variety of materials, each offering unique aesthetic and functional properties:
– White Nylon: The most affordable option, polished for a smooth finish. This material is ideal for a lightweight and durable version of the sculpture, offering a clean, matte appearance.
– Black Nylon: Treated with Color Touch, this material provides enhanced resistance to external conditions, including scratches and rubbing, while maintaining a consistent, high-quality black surface finish.
– Bronze, Brass, Gold-Plated Brass, White Rhodium-Plated Brass: These metal options are produced through metal casting, ensuring an elegant, high-quality finish. The process begins with a wax master model created via 3D printing, followed by casting the final piece in the desired metal. These materials offer a premium, weighty feel with a polished, refined surface, perfect for collectors seeking a more luxurious rendition of the artifact.
Please note that for objects exceeding the size limits of the production process, this replica is available in a smaller scale than the original.
