A bit of a clarification on the material used! **Cast marble statues are made from 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. You clean it just as you would real marble. These sculptures are not carved. They 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 gentle cleaning agents. Please note that it is very normal to find minor pits on the surface. Smoke-free home. Quick shipping!
