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 .

In Greek
mythology, Leda was an Aetolian princess who became a Spartan queen. Her myth gave rise
to the popular motif in Renaissance and later art of Leda and the Swan.

Leda was admired by Zeus, who seduced her in the guise of a swan. As a swan, Zeus fell into her arms for protection
from a pursuing eagle. Their consummation, on the same night as Leda lay with
her husband Tyndareus, resulted in two eggs from which hatched Helen (later
known as the beautiful “Helen of Troy“),
Clytemnestra, and Castor and Pollux (also known as the Dioscuri).
