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 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 About Hercules and Nemean Lion

A caryatid  is a sculpted female figure serving as an architectural support taking the place of a column or a pillar supporting an entablature on
her head. The best-known and most-copied examples are those of the six
figures of the Caryatid Porch of the Erechtheion on the Acropolis at
Athens.
