Material & Manufacture process: Cast Marble

Cast Marble statues are made
from a composite material in which natural crushed Greek Marble
stone is mixed with a small quantity of resin that works as a
glue.  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 Marble 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. 100% Natural marble statues are hand carved and command a very
hefty price. Our product offerings are intended to be affordable to the
majority public. 

Demeter 

was the goddess of the earth, of agriculture, and  fertility in general. 

Demeter was intimately associated with the seasons. Her daughter Persephone was abducted by Hades to be his wife in the underworld. In her anger at her daughter’s loss, Demeter laid a curse on the world that caused plants to wither and die, and the land to become desolate. Zeus, alarmed for the barren earth, sought for Persephone’s return. However, because she had eaten while in the underworld, Hades had a claim on her. Therefore, it was decreed that Persephone would spend four months each year in the underworld. During these months Demeter would grieve for her daughter’s absence, withdrawing her gifts from the world, creating winter. Her return brought the spring.
