Clan Farquharson Crest Badge Lithophane

I'm starting a series of works celebrating Scottish heritage with this rendition of the clan crest badge for my ancestral clan: Farquharson.

This image, which I first created in vector format, was converted to raster for web publication. With the growing popularity of lithophane printing, it seemed like a logical next step to use the image in this manner.

In my rendition, I've created a lion rampant (standing), chapeau (baronial hat), claymore (great sword), and a belt that features a Celtic knot and foxglove motif, a plant being one of the symbols associated with the clan. The clan motto is “Fide et Fortitudine” in Latin, which approximately translates to “Faith and Courage” or “Fidelity and Fortitude” in English.

The file is necessarily large for resolution purposes. It won't present a preview here, but I included a screenshot from the slicer to give you an idea of the level of detail.

Many rules and customs guide the display of clan crest badges, among them that they are almost always in monochrome (see this Wikipedia article for more regarding the protocols). Best to avoid printing in multicolor to avoid the wrath of the Lord Lyon King of Arms!

The print is backlit for the most dramatic effect, and the file can be mirrored on the z-axis in the slicer if you want the image to be a surprise when lit up.

Note: I processed my original artwork using several methods, but the best result was generated at https://tool.itslitho.com/ — an excellent resource I highly recommend.

Regarding the frame:

I found a customizable frame here, and it's the one you see in the picture of the actual print.

UPDATE: 

While the original model printed very well, I was unhappy with the resulting negative space around the badge, so I added a bit of border space around it to accommodate a framing device. Either version of the model is available.
