Material & Manufacture process: Cast Alabaster

Cast Alabaster statues are made from a 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.  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.
