Staurotheke - Reliquary surround - Piece 2/5

cults3d

This piece of Bessarion's reliquary surround holds the fragments of the true cross and the cloak of Christ (or at least, some very old pieces of wood and cloth). The empty slots you see on the four corners should have crystal inserts containing these relics. The program is two archangels in the upper boxes, then two full length portraits of Constantine and Helena on the lower two sides. Along the full length is a pattern of small flowers. This will print best if you stand it vertically with a brim. The cross of Irene will fit snugly into this print if you push it in from the back. Since the Irene Cross is quite detailed be sure that you fully trim and finish the edges before trying to snap these together. This piece is THE most delicate of the three due to its slim edges around the cross. In real life, it wouldn't get removed from the main frame at all. Be quite careful when trimming and removing supports.
