Those are extraordinary in both design and execution. Unique. You must be very proud to have done that work.

> This particular carving required some really tricky perspective in very shallow 

> relief. Keep in mind that the total depth of the actual carving is 1-1/4". The 

> panel itself is 1-3/4" thick, leaving only 1/2" thickness for the supporting 

> background. In fact, the actual face of Jesus is carved in less than 1/2" 

> thickness, including the beard, but not the crown of thorns.

> The paving stones that pass under the figure and the cross had to be carved in a 

> concave manner in order to allow more thickness for carving the objects above
