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. Αlabaster 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.
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 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.
This Statue is based on a Roman copy of
a Greek bronze original dated around 450–425 B.C. The original bronze may have
stood in the sanctuary of Artemis at Ephesus on the coast of Asia Minor, where
the Amazons had legendary and cultic connections with the goddess.
The Amazons were a mythical race of
warrior women renowned for their skills in archery and horsemanship. Here, the
mythical warrior woman has been stripped of her weapons and horse, and wounded
under her right breast. She wears a short, sleeveless chiton unfastened at one
shoulder and belted at the waist with a makeshift bit of bridle from her horse.
The garment is known as an exomis, the type of clothing worn by Greek men for
exercise, horse riding, or hard labor. Despite her plight, this Amazon shows no
sign of pain or fatigue. She gently leans on the pillar at her left and rests
her right arm gracefully on her head in a gesture often used to denote sleep or
death. The serenity of her pose and the emotional restraint in her facial
expression are characteristic of Classical sculpture of the second half of the
fifth century B.C.
