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.

About PERSEPHONE

PERSEPHONE, who is holding a garland was the goddess queen of the underworld, wife of the god Hades. She was also the goddess of spring growth, who was worshiped alongside her mother Demeter in the Eleusinian Mysteries. This agricultural-based cult promised its initiates passage to a blessed afterlife. Persephone was titled Kore (the Maiden) as the goddess of spring’s bounty. Once upon a time when she was playing in a flowery meadow with her Nymph companions, Kore was seized by Hades and carried off to the underworld as his bride. Her mother Demeter despaired at her disappearance and searched for her the throughout the world accompanied by the goddess Hecate bearing torches. When she learned that Zeus had conspired in her daughter’s abduction she was furious, and refused to let the earth fruit until Persephone was returned. Zeus consented, but because the girl had tasted of the food of Hades–a handful of pomegranate seeds–she was forced to forever spend a part of the year with her husband in the underworld. Her annual return to the earth in spring was marked by the flowering of the meadows and the sudden growth of the new grain. Her return to the underworld in winter, conversely, saw the dying down of plants and the halting of growth.
