Description
John the Baptist Baroque Arch STL CNC Router — 3D Relief for Wood Carving
This john the baptist baroque arch STL CNC router model is the iconographically richest version of Saint John the Baptist in the collection. John is depicted at full height inside an oval arch — a unique architectural element characteristic of Russian baroque iconography. The background inside the arch is covered with a rich floral textured ornament of leaves and flowers, against which the figure of John stands out with exceptional clarity. Surrounding the oval arch on all sides is a massive baroque frame with acanthus ornaments, floral medallions, and leaf scrolls. The Lamb of God occupies the lower left corner. The inscriptions MR OX flank the figure left and right in the upper section.
John the Baptist Baroque Arch STL CNC Router — Why the Oval Arch Is Premium
The oval arch is an altar iconographic form — found in the iconostases of the great Orthodox cathedrals and a sign of high icon status. The combination of oval arch, floral background, and massive baroque frame makes this version significantly more complex to machine and significantly more valuable as a finished piece. It is positioned directly in the premium altar segment.

Symbolism
