Mayan Ruin Sculpture & Stand for a 60-Gal Aquarium

Carved rigid Styrofoam is coated with polyester resin, then sprinkled with play-sand so as to appear as solid rock. The dissolving effect the polyester resin has on the foam, simply increases the "ancient" appearance of the finished piece. Genuine water related Mayan pictoglyphs were used in the carving as well.
