Pressed Clay Relief Frieze (Style-Only, Image-Conditioned)

Re-render this image as a stop-motion photograph of a hand-pressed clay bas-relief, a shallow frieze sculpted into a single slab rather than free-standing figures. Keep the subject and original composition precisely in place. Raise its most important forms only a few centimeters from the backing plane; carve the intervals with a wooden loop tool so dark little channels preserve the source's original boundaries. Show the process plainly: parallel scraping marks, fingerprints flattened into broad planes, chipped edges, and soft clay crumbs caught in recesses. Press fabric into selected background areas to leave a coarse weave impression, then smooth the focal area by hand without ever making it machine-perfect. Work in terracotta, cream slip, burnt sienna, and a trace of smoky charcoal rubbed into recesses. Low raking light from one side creates long small-scale shadows that make the shallow sculpture read strongly at a glance, while the slab's exposed side reveals its physical thickness. Photograph it against an unpainted studio wall, not a grand monument. The image must remain a legible translation of the source, not an unrelated ornamental panel. Favor broad massing over intricate incisions. Avoid immaculate cast resin, digital displacement, and polished stone simulation; this is wet clay shaped on a worktable. Leave a calm, uncluttered band of negative space along the top or bottom edge where a title could sit. Strictly no on-canvas text, no legible lettering, no signature, no watermark, no logos. Preserve the subject, pose, and composition of the source image exactly, change only the medium and rendering. Aspect ratio matches source.
