[Attention!: the image is 1024x768, please, be sure it is displayed 100%.]
It is the portrait of the seven branched candelabrum of the Temple in Jerusalem called "Menorah" as it could be seen in Rome in the summer 71 AD, before the famous triumph procession of Titus and Vespasian for the end of the Jewish War.
The candelabrum is a 3D Object modeled with Cinema 4D, according to the depiction of this candelabrum from the famous panel relief of the Arch of Titus in Rome and according to description of this candelabrum made by Flavius Josephus in his book "The Jewish War". The candelabrum called "Menorah" was saved by Titus and his men during the sack of Jerusalem and during the fire of the Temple in Jerusalem and then was brought in Rome (the narration is in Flavius Josephus "The Jewish War", where it stayed till V sec. AD perhaps in the Temple of Peace.
The scene has been lit with an HDR map with light caught directly in Rome, in order to have the same light that must have lit the candelabrum in 71 AD just before the opening of the triumphal procession through the streets of Rome.
