Salt Lake Temple Layered Wood Plaque

Salt Lake Temple Plaque This multi-layer "mandala style" temple plaque is an original design. The detailed art piece is created out of 9 layers of laser-cut birch and walnut woods with just over a 1" total thickness". Each layer is slightly different than the one above and uses design elements that reflect the unique architectural detail found in this specific temple, an effect that is wonderfully relaxing and mesmerizing. This unique piece of inspirational artwork makes a special gift for friends, newly weds and loved ones. It can be showcased in your home or office, hung on a  wall or displayed on a desk or shelf. The Salt Lake Temple is the centerpiece of the 10-acre Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah. Due to its location at Church headquarters and its historical significance, Latter-day Saints from around the world patronize the temple. The temple includes some elements thought to evoke Solomon's Temple at Jerusalem. It is oriented towards Jerusalem and the large basin used as a baptismal font is mounted on the backs of twelve oxen, as was the Molten Sea in Solomon's Temple (see Chronicles 4:2–4). At the east end of the building, the height of the center pinnacle to the base of the angel Moroni is 210 feet, or 120 cubits, making this Temple 20 cubits taller than the Temple of Solomon.
