This 3D-printed Museum Replica is based on Woman Seated on a Bench, an ancient Greek terracotta figurine from the fourth to third century BCE. The original belongs to the Tanagra tradition, a group of small figures admired for their refined treatment of dress, posture, and everyday human presence. Seated calmly on a bench and wrapped in a simple chiton, the figure conveys restraint, dignity, and quiet elegance. Like other Tanagra figurines, it reflects a period in Greek art when small-scale sculpture often turned away from heroic grandeur and toward more intimate, human subjects.
The Woman Seated on a Bench is available in the following materials:
- White nylon – the most economical option, polished to create a smoother surface.
- Black nylon – treated after printing and finished with Color Touch, giving it a stable, even color and improved resistance to scratching and rubbing.
- Bronze – produced through a casting process based on a 3D-printed wax master model, giving the object a precise form and an elegant metallic appearance.
- Gold plated brass – created through a casting process based on a 3D-printed wax master model, combining accurate reproduction with a rich metallic finish.
- White rhodium plated brass – created through a casting process based on a 3D-printed wax master model, offering a bright and elegant metallic surface.
As a replica, this object is intended to bring an important example of ancient Greek terracotta into a modern setting, whether for display, study, or collecting. It preserves the essential form of the museum object while translating it into materials suited to contemporary production.
