The original goddess Diana statue is a Roman copy (1st to 2nd Century AD) of a Greek bronze original attributed to Leochares, circa 325 BC.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe goddess Diana was the daughter of Zeus \u0026amp; Leto, twin sister of Apollo.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn Roman mythology, Diana was not only the goddess of the hunt, but of the moon, and nature being associated with wild animals and woodland, and having the power to talk to and control animals. She is guardian of springs and streams, and protector of wild animals, also known as goddess of fertility, it is believed she grants safe \u0026amp; easy childbirth, to all who recognize her.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nShe was eventually equated with the Greek goddess Artemis, though she had an independent origin in Italy. Diana was worshipped in ancient Roman religion and is revered in Roman Neopaganism and Stregheria. Diana was known to be the virgin goddess of childbirth and women. She was one of the three maiden goddesses, along with Minerva and Vesta, who swore never to marry.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe original is owned and housed in the Vatican, Rome.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis bust makes a great pair when twinned with the as you can see on the third picture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePREMIUM MARBLE CAST\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nOur sculptures are produced using a unique and proprietary dry casting process. Crafted with \u003cb\u003ewhite Carrara marble\u003c\/b\u003e, over 90% of each finished sculpture is composed of natural marble, giving it the \u003cb\u003eauthentic look and feel\u003c\/b\u003e of genuine marble.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCasting with such a high marble content requires significantly more finishing work and makes \u003cb\u003elarge-scale mass production impossible\u003c\/b\u003e—a key difference from resin alternatives. Around \u003cb\u003e80% of the process \u003c\/b\u003e is dedicated to hand-finishing the surface. This intensive hand-finishing is essential to bring out the stone particles and enhance the natural stone feel.

Many resin sculptures, especially lower-quality alternatives, can become yellowish, faded, or discolored over time when exposed to sunlight or UV light. Our premium marble cast material is designed to remain visually stable, helping the sculpture preserve its refined white marble appearance for years to come. This is one of the reasons why marble cast sculptures are more expensive than resin—but also why they offer better long-term value.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1551\/9675\/files\/Veiled-lady-SCAN4401076-12ace421-5903-469e-8707-4ac430eb6ecb.__CR0_0_1940_600_PT0_SX970_V1.jpg?v=1683545128\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1551\/9675\/files\/Veiled-lady-SCAN4401076-b1ad1be7-838f-4f27-910c-de96098c4bbe.__CR0_0_1940_600_PT0_SX970_V1.jpg?v=1683545128\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1551\/9675\/files\/Veiled-lady-SCAN4401076-ab834706-168a-4262-8216-47e924d6894a.__CR0_0_1940_600_PT0_SX970_V1.jpg?v=1683545128\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAdditionally, our premium cast contains crystalline sparkling particles, enhancing its natural luster and making it even closer in appearance to real stone—because it nearly is.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1551\/9675\/files\/materialcloseup-sas02.jpg?v=1739965579\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn a world where shortcuts and mass production have become the norm, investing in a sculpture crafted with integrity and tradition is more than just a purchase—it’s a statement.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nOur sculptures are the result of meticulous craftsmanship, bringing your interior depth, character, and soul.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWith their timeless elegance and superior quality, they stand as authentic works of art, meant to be admired for generations.\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1551\/9675\/files\/output-onlinepngtools.png?v=1720861214\"\u003e Premium white Carrara marble cast — a refined alternative to resin\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1551\/9675\/files\/output-onlinepngtools.png?v=1720861214\"\u003e Hand-finished surface revealing natural marble particles\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1551\/9675\/files\/output-onlinepngtools.png?v=1720861214\"\u003e High marble content (approx. 90%) for a cool, stone-like feel\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1551\/9675\/files\/output-onlinepngtools.png?v=1720861214\"\u003e Pure white tone with a subtle, neutral patina\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1551\/9675\/files\/output-onlinepngtools.png?v=1720861214\"\u003e Timeless artistic quality, designed to elevate any interiorHeight: \u003cspan\u003e53 cm \/ \u003c\/span\u003e20.7\"\u003cbr\u003e\nWidth: \u003cspan\u003e30 cm \/ \u003c\/span\u003e11.7\"\u003cbr\u003e\nDepth: \u003cspan\u003e18 cm \/ \u003c\/span\u003e7\"\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: \u003cspan\u003e15 kg \/ \u003c\/span\u003e33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e Unlike hollow replicas, this piece is solid throughout\u003c\/b\u003eEurope1SCRO4401011IN STOCK - Shipping within 7 days\u003cspan\u003e53 cm \/ \u003c\/span\u003e20.7\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"The Ancient Home","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58415356739887,"sku":"5ef77ae7-55d9-4842-ba8b-3f7c4c897f49","price":1350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/2749\/5215\/files\/005-SCRO4401011-diana-chasseresse-bust-sculpture_1024x1024_f9caae4b-8cb0-4d96-8932-5ba720d09123_1024x1024_square_zoom.jpg?v=1788324774","url":"https:\/\/rcgardencenter.com\/products\/diana-bust-sculpture-20-7-in","provider":"Richland Chambers Garden Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
