The three inches matter: it is a substantial relief rather than a carved plaque, which allows the face to be modeled with real dimensionality and the hair and drapery to be undercut so they hold shadow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47\" H × 30\" W × 3\" D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% solid walnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural wood finish, no paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustomization:\u003c\/strong\u003e different sizes and wood species available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCarving a Face in Relief\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA face is the least forgiving subject in carved relief. There is no margin in the eye sockets, the bridge of the nose or the set of the mouth — a fraction too deep or too shallow in any of them and the expression changes completely. Devotional work compounds the difficulty, because the emotion of the piece rests entirely on that expression rather than on any narrative around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWalnut, Unpainted\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolid walnut is used throughout and left unpainted. The dark, variegated timber does something a painted surface cannot: the grain passes through the face, the hair and the background as one continuous material, which gives the relief a stillness and gravity that color would interrupt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinimalist, wabi-sabi and traditional interiors, prayer rooms, chapels and private collections.
