Replica of the Ten Commandants

Hello

I know the Ethiopian and Eritrean Churches put a replica of the Ten Commandments in their altar area.
Do any other Orthodox Church do that?
May God Bless

    My guide in Axum (where the Ethiopians believe the original Ark is housed) told me that there is a copy in every church symbolising the Mother of God who bore Christ through Whom grace and truth came; whereas the original Ark housed the ten commandments given through Moses.

    I think that is it in a nutshell. It sounded reasonable to me.
