Scale: approximately 1:151,351
Finish: cold cast resin with real metal powder
Finish options: bronze, copper, or silver
Supplied: completely finished with a black felt base and ready to display

This listing is for the unframed 15cm square map. A framed version is also be available in my other listings.

How it is made

The map is created from accurate mapping data using modern 3D terrain modelling and manufacturing techniques.

An original pattern is produced, from which a mould is made. Each map is then individually cast by hand using a process known as cold casting, where resin is mixed with real metal powder to create a genuine metal-effect surface.

After casting, each piece is given an aged patina finish and polished by hand to bring out the detail in the terrain.

Because every map is hand-finished, small variations in tone and patina are normal and make each piece unique.

A meaningful gift

This K2 relief map makes a thoughtful gift for:

mountaineers and climbers
K2 enthusiasts
outdoor lovers
map collectors
Himalayan and Karakoram expedition followers
adventure travel enthusiasts
retirement, birthday, Father’s Day, or Christmas gifts

It is a compact but striking display piece for a shelf, desk, study, office, or home.
