Greek Roman Goddess Athena Minerva Cast Alabaster Statue Figure Sculpture 9.65 inches

Material & Manufacture process: Cast Alabaster

Cast Alabaster statues are made
from a composite material in which natural crushed Greek Alabaster
stone is mixed with a small quantity of resin that works as a
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.
