Nude Female FLOWER BEARER Erotic Greek Cast Marble Statue Sculpture 11.8 inches

HERAIA FESTIVAL – FLOWER BEARER

In ancient Greece girls bearing Flowers participated in the Heraia Festival. The Heraia were a festival dedicated to Hera. Like the Olympic Games this festival contained athletic competitions and was held at Olympia. However, only women were allowed to compete at the Heraia. Figures with no clothes are peculiarly common in the art of the Western world. The nude first became significant in the art of ancient Greece, where  athletic competitions  at   religious festivals  celebrated the human body. The nudes of Greco-Roman art are conceptually perfected ideal persons, each one a vision of health, youth, geometric clarity, and organic equilibrium.

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.
