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.
Αbout Tyche – Fortuna
Tyche ,whose Roman counterpart is Fortuna was the goddess or spirit of fortune, chance, providence and fate. She was usually honoured in a more favourable light as Eutykhia, goddess of good fortune, luck, success and prosperity. Tykhe was represented with different attributes. Holding a rudder, she was conceived as the divinity guiding and conducting the affairs of the world, and in this respect she was called one of the Moirai (Fates); with a ball she represented the varying unsteadiness of fortune–unsteady and capable of rolling in any direction; with Ploutos or the horn of Amalthea, she was the symbol of the plentiful gifts of fortune.
