About this asset

Crafted with winged cherubim atop an ornate lid, this traditional gold ark chest Revit family models a ceremonial relic complete with wooden carrying poles. The model depicts a gilded ceremonial box featuring decorative low-relief carved side panels, corner ring mounts, and long horizontal carrying poles running along each flank. Atop the reflective upper surface, two sculpted winged figures face inward in traditional mercy seat iconography. Corner horn extensions project outward from the upper moulding, while the base plinth provides clean ground termination. Materials contrast polished metallic gold surfaces across the main body, figures, and filigree fretwork with deep brown timber tones along the extended transport staves.

The download is a 7.9 MB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Designed for placement as an unhosted component within Revit, the family inserts directly onto level floors or custom plinths. Geometric faces support native Revit material mapping, enabling project teams to adjust reflectance, roughness, or diffuse tinting within the material browser. The model remains lightweight for fast elevation and section generation without taxing project view performance.

This historic liturgical piece serves specialty project requirements including religious sanctuaries, church altars, museum exhibits, and theatrical stage backdrops. Designers visualising sacred interior architecture, heritage educational displays, or themed entertainment sets can feature the asset as a central focal piece. The detailed ornamentation pairs appropriately with stone pulpits, altar steps, drapery backdrops, and classical sanctuary furnishings.
