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.

The Parthenon is
a former temple on the Athenian Acropolis, Greece, dedicated to the
goddess Athena, whom the people of Athens considered their patron.
Construction began in 447 BC when the Athenian Empire was at the peak of
its power. It was completed in 438 BC although decoration of the
building continued until 432 BC. It is the most important surviving
building of Classical Greece, generally considered the zenith of the
Doric order. Its decorative sculptures are considered some of the high
points of Greek art. The Parthenon is regarded as an enduring symbol of
Ancient Greece, Athenian democracy and western civilization, and one of
the world’s greatest cultural monuments.
