"Demeter"





This creation is a 100% handmade sculpture of the goddess, Demeter. Known for her connections to nature, the changing seasons, and the harvest, Demeter embodies the symbols of fertility (thus the pomegranate). The handmade ear of corn lends an aire of harvest and autumn, the time of year when Demeter was said to be preparing to go into the underworld to find her daughter, Persephone.

She shimmers with a glittery metallic gold glaze contrasting with a pop of sheer turquoise speckled with layers of floral scrolls, flecks of iridescence, and shots of hot pink. This sculpture is a completely unique, highly detailed, lifesized addition to any mythology buff's collection.
