Each bas relief is 12' high x 36' long and the stone thickness being contemplated is approximately 10". The relief is broken into smaller size panels which will be anchored to a structural concrete substrate behind the bas relief wall. The stone relief will be carved to match an artist's concept maquette. The stone carving fabrication will require collaboration with the artist for the reliefs.
