Description

🔹 This 3D printed statue portrays Mercury, also known as Hermes in Greek mythology, in a pivotal moment from the mythological tale. In this scene, Mercury is depicted as the cunning messenger of the gods, wearing his iconic winged hat. The statue captures the story where Jupiter (Zeus) enlists Mercury's help to free a priestess, who was transformed into a heifer by Jupiter's wife Juno (Hera) and guarded by the monster Argus with eyes all over his body. Mercury uses his musical talent, playing the shepherd’s pipe to lull Argus to sleep, allowing him to seize the moment and slay the monster with his sword. This statue embodies the cleverness and swift action attributed to Mercury in ancient mythology. 🌟Original Sculpture Details🌟 Date: 1818 Period: Neoclassical Artist: Bertel Thorvaldsen 🌟Material & Process🌟 This product is crafted using high-quality PLA with a 3D printer, then meticulously hand-painted and varnished to perfection.

Initially, we carefully sand the object to eliminate any rough surfaces. Next, we apply a primer to prepare it for painting. The piece is then hand-painted with great attention to detail, and finally, we varnish it to ensure the paint remains vibrant and long-lasting. 📌 Our products are lightweight due to the 3D printing process.
