The Virginia Museum of fine art\u00a0 which has a few artifacts from this building also has at least one of these lunettes with a very similar design on it as the spandrel panels have.<\/p>\n

I like the shape of it as well, I have no plans to but easily could make the surrounding flat pieces for it if a client wanted them.<\/p>\n

I will be working on this model very soon, of course it takes time and this type of work is done when I have time, and more time for the various mold making processes to get done, but progress photos will come along here soon enough.<\/p>\n

This would most likely be priced around $325 in fired red terracotta.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The museum has their artifact sized 18-1\/4″ x 18-1\/2″ and 4″ deep, this size would fit into my existing kiln, so this is another design I can keep my model of full sized like the originals and offer both interior cast-stone this size but less deep to hang ON the wall, and hand-pressed terracotta which will be slightly smaller due to the shrinkage of the clay but made a nominal\u00a0 3″ deep which can be additionally used outdoors in the garden or embedded into a brick or stone wall of any type.<\/p>\n
