Philadelphia Pennsylvania Temple Layered Wood Plaque

Philadelphia Pennsylvania Temple Plaque

This multi-layer "mandala style" temple plaque is an original design. This detailed art piece is created out of 9 layers of laser-cut birch and stained birch, including navy stained birch, as well as, deep walnut and mahogany woods. The background design is inspired by the huge stained glass window on the front of the building.

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 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.

On June 24, 2011, Elder Jay E. Jensen of the Presidency of the Seventy unveiled the official rendering of the Philadelphia Pennsylvania Temple for the first time at a VIP event held prior to a Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square concert in Philadelphia's Mann Center. The granite-clad building was designed to complement the neoclassical architecture of the neighboring buildings and throughout historic Philadelphia where the United States was founded in 1776. The steeples, for example, echo the clock tower on Independence Hall, and the period furnishings create an air of historic Philadelphia.
