Material & Manufacture process: Cast Alabaster
Cast Alabaster statues are made from a material in which
natural crushed Greek Alabaster stone is mixed with a small quantity
of resin that works as glue. Alabaster was very widely used for small
sculpture for indoor use in the ancient world, especially in Ancient Greece,
Egypt and Mesopotamia. The mixture is then poured into a mold of the statue
design. Because the powder is so fine the smallest details can be
reproduced using this method. Over 90% of the finished
sculpture is natural crushed Greek Alabaster stone, which gives it a look
and feel of solid natural marble. All sculptures are finished by hand to
ensure the finest quality. This strong material is water and weather resistant,
doesn’t have bubbles, will not crack, and can be washed with most cleaning
agents.
Please note: Our statues are not
carved. The alabaster we use is not the calcite alabaster variety which is also
known as onyx-marble, Egyptian alabaster, or Oriental alabaster. Natural marble
statues are hand carved and command a very hefty price. Our product offerings
are intended to be affordable to the majority public
