The Birth of Venus Statue Patinated Bronze Scallop Shell Base Goddess Aphrodite This stunning bronze-patinated figurine depicts the Roman goddess Venus (or the Greek Aphrodite) emerging from a scallop shell, inspired by Sandro Botticelli’s masterpiece 'The Birth of Venus'. The statue captures the classic 'Venus Pudica' (modest Venus) pose with exceptional detail in the flowing hair and anatomical form. Unlike common replicas, this is a high-quality, cold-cast piece featuring a beautiful verdigris patina that adds depth and an aged, classical aesthetic. The base is finished with felt pads to protect your furniture surfaces. A perfect statement piece for a library, office, or classical art collection.  Material: Solid cold-cast metal (Bronze/Resin/Stone alloy) Finish: Verdigris green and bronze patina Subject: The Birth of Venus / Aphrodite Style: Neoclassical / Renaissance Revival Material Characteristics The Compound: Pieces created by the studio of Amilcare Santini are molded from an industrial composite material traditionally called oxolyte or Marbelite. This material is a high-density mixture of crushed alabaster, marble dust, and synthetic polymer resin. The Finish: The dark look is achieved via a surface treatment known as patinato. The molded compound is coated, hand-painted, or chemically patinated with metal powders to perfectly mimic the heavy oxidization and weathering of real, centuries-old patinated bronze. How It Works The Mixture: Artists mix fine bronze metal powder with resin using a ratio of about 4 parts metal powder to 1 part resin. The Pouring: The creamy mixture is brushed or slush-cast inside a reusable rubber mold to form an outer metallic layer. The Backfilling: The inside is filled out with more resin, fiberglass, or rigid foam to save weight and add structural strength. The Finishing: Once cured, the piece is taken out of the mold, polished and buffed. No chips cracks scratches. Selling OBO. Please see our store for similar items.

Please take it with a grain of salt :  "This patinated bronze statue of Venus, also known as Aphrodite, is a handmade reproduction based on the famous painting by Sandro Botticelli. The sculpture depicts Venice as a goddess emerging from the sea on a scallop shell, symbolizing the birth of Venus. Standing at 16 inches tall with a medium size, this statue captures the beauty and elegance of Greek art in a green antique bronze finish. It is a unique and artistic piece that would make a perfect addition to any living room or art collection, embracing a theme of art and mythology." Thank you and Happy Shopping! Condition: Used.
