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. Natural marble statues are hand carved and command
a very hefty price. Our product offerings are intended to be affordable to the
majority public.

This statue  is based on  the  6nd-century BC marble
sculpture known as «The Kroisos Kouros» which is exhibited in the National
Archaelogical Museum of Athens. The Kroisos Kouros  is a
marble kouros from Anavyssos in Attica which functioned as a grave marker for a
fallen young warrior named Kroisos (Κροῖσος).  A kouros is the modern term
given to free-standing ancient Greek sculptures that first appear in the
Archaic period in Greece and represent nude male youths. In Ancient Greek
kouros means “youth, boy, especially of noble rank”. Although Kouroi have been
found in many ancient Greek territories, they were especially prominent in
Attica and Boiotia.
