The Stele Giustiniani is offered here as a 3D-printed Museum Replica of one of the most distinguished funerary reliefs of early Classical Greece. The original, carved in Parian marble around 460 BCE, is known for its restrained emotional power, refined proportions, and remarkably preserved form. It depicts a young girl with lowered head, reaching into a small pyxis, a quiet gesture that gives the monument its particular gravity. This replica preserves the essential composition of the ancient work, including the slender upright form, the controlled drapery, and the crowning palmette finial.
Produced as a museum replica, this object is intended to convey the formal clarity and calm presence of the original while adapting it to modern production methods. The relief’s character depends on subtle transitions of surface and line rather than deep carving or dramatic movement, and these qualities remain central to the replica in each available material. The result is a reproduction suitable for display, study, and collecting, with close attention given to the monument’s overall silhouette and sculptural balance.
The Stele Giustiniani is available in the following materials:
- White Nylon
A polished material with a smoother surface to the touch. This is the most economical option. - Black Nylon
Treated after printing and finished with Color Touch. This gives the object a durable surface with good resistance to scratching and rubbing, as well as a stable and consistent black color across production batches. - Bronze
Produced through metal casting from a 3D-printed wax master model. This method gives the replica an elegant finish and a strong material presence. - Gold-Plated Brass
Produced through the same metal casting process, using a 3D-printed wax master model and plaster mould. The finished object has a refined metallic appearance with a more decorative character. - White Rhodium-Plated Brass
Also produced through metal casting from a 3D-printed wax master model. This version offers a bright, elegant metallic finish with a cooler tone.
For the metal versions, the process typically begins with a master model built in wax through 3D printing. A plaster mould is then formed around it, after which liquid metal is introduced to replace the wax and create the finished object. This process makes it possible to produce parts with a precise form and an elegant appearance.
Replica Measurements (Nylon): 4.6 × 14 cm (1.81 × 5.51 in)
Replica Measurements (Metals): 2 × 6 cm (0.79 × 2.36 in)
As with the original monument, this replica is defined by proportion, surface, and restraint. It is especially suited to interiors, collections, and study settings where the visual language of early Classical Greek sculpture can be appreciated at close range. Different materials give the object different tactile and visual qualities, but the essential form remains the same.
