Caryatid is a sculpted female figure serving as an architectural support taking the place of a column or a pillar supporting an entablature on her head. The Greek term caryatides literally means "maidens of Karyai", an ancient town of Peloponnese. An atlas or telamon is a male version of a caryatid, i.e. a sculpted male statue serving as architectural support of a column. Some of the earliest known examples were found in the treasuries of Delphi, including that of Siphnos, dating to the 6th century BC. The best-known and most-copied examples are those of the six figures of the Caryatid Porch of the Erechtheion on the Acropolis at Athens. One of those original six figures, removed by Lord Elgin in the early 19th century, is now in the British Museum in London. The Acropolis Museum holds the other five figures, which are replaced onsite by replicas. The five originals that are in Athens are now being exhibited in the new Acropolis Museum, on a special balcony that allows visitors to view them from all sides.


Cast Alabaster Material:
Cast Alabaster is a natural crushed stone that gives the feeling of marble, it's a solid material water-resistant.
Our Alabaster statues first making in a mold and finished by hand, for more attention to details and unique surfacing.
