Large White Carrara Marble Statuette "Andonis" - (17.2lbs)
A wonderful Narcissus Garden Statuette.
"Adonis in Greek mythology, is a central figure in various mystery religions. There has been much scholarship over the centuries concerning the multiple roles of Adonis, if any, and his meaning and purpose in Greek religious beliefs. Modern scholarship sometimes describes him as an annually renewed, ever-youthful vegetation god, a life-death-rebirth deity whose nature is tied to the calendar. His name is often applied in modern times to handsome youths, of whom he is the archetype."
This timeless beauty perfectly matches classical gardens.
