I thought about using a heightfield, but haven't done much of that lately.
Your image is an excellent rendering and better captures the art of the
original.
I kinda cheated. I imported Ron's image into Animation Master and used the
Rotoscope feature to outline the carving with control points. Extruded the
splines, then exported to POV-Ray for rendering.

Okay, control points I can guess about anyway.   I was thinking it had to be
almost redrawn somehow to look as it did.  Thanks for the answer.

It's come full circle, then.  The original was a piece of clipart I
got from the Internet somewhere and interpreted in such a way as to
make it doable given the materials and methods I had.
