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 a glue. Αlabaster 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

Artemis- Diana was
one of the most widely venerated of the Ancient Greek deities. Her
Roman equivalent is Diana. Some scholars believe that the name, and
indeed the goddess herself, was originally pre-Greek.Homer refers to her
as Artemis Agrotera, Potnia Theron “Artemis of the wildland, Mistress
of Animals”The Arcadians believed she was the daughter of Demeter. In
the classical period of Greek mythology, Artemis was often described as
the daughter of Zeus and Leto, and the twin sister of Apollo. She was
the Hellenic goddess of the hunt, wild animals, wilderness, childbirth,
virginity and protector of young girls, bringing and relieving disease
in women; she often was depicted as a huntress carrying a bow and
arrows.
