🔹This is a SLA hight detailed copy of Menelaus supporting the body of Patroclus is a marble sculpture so-titled due to its apparent representation of an episode in the Iliad featuring the characters Menelaus and Patroclus. The sculpture has a complex artistic and social history that illustrates the degree to which improvisatory "restorations" were made to fragments of ancient Roman sculpture during the 16th and 17th centuries, in which contemporary Italian sculptors made original and often arbitrary and destructive additions in an effort to replace lost fragments of the ancient sculptures. The ancient nucleus of the sculpture, underneath the later additions, initially consisted of the headless torso of a man in armor supporting a heroically nude dying comrade; the group was made in the late 1st century AD, a Roman copy freely reproducing a Hellenistic Pergameneoriginal of the mid-3rd century BC.

🌟Material & Process🌟

Our products are made using high-detail resin-based 3D printing technology. This method ensures a smooth surface and reveals even the finest details with precision.

🌟Post-3D Printing Process🌟

Although our products come out of the machine with all their details intact, these details are not visually striking enough before post-processing. That’s why we apply a primer, white matte paint, and a velvet matte varnish to each piece. This results in high contrast, eliminates glare under light, and enhances the tactile experience.

📌Our products are lightweight due to the 3D printing process. The weight may be surprising when held, as it cannot be accurately judged by appearance alone. Generally, they weigh under 500 grams. Despite their lightness, our 3D printed items are more durable and resistant to impact. If you prefer a heavier product, we can add weight upon request, though this will incur an additional shipping fee. Please contact us for more details.
