Our Pocket Bearded Aphrodite Statue is a unique statue carved and casted by your local trickster spirits. The original design was hand-carved by us before being casted in genuine natural materials using the same process as most pagan statuary. The design is heavily inspired by ancient statues of Venus Barbata, Bearded Venus: an ancient form and epithet of Aphrodite. Here, she's modeled off of the bust of the Venus de Milo, with her bearded features added.
She is currently available in the following materials:
Bonded painted garnet: Please note that bonded garnet has a unique appearance. Due to the weight and translucence of the powdered stone, this statuary has two tones. The face of this statuary is darker, where large portions of the stone settled due to weight, while the background is lighter and translucent with darker flecks of stone interspersed among the red tone.
Bonded atomized copper
Bonded statuary bronze
Bonded charcoal
Starlight: This is the only statue not made of natural materials. It's made with resin and colored with shimmering white and purple mica. Like folk magic practitioners before us, we work with the best materials available for the task at hand: this includes resin. Despite not being a natural material, we work with resin for its alchemical property of transformation. Under its own power, resin transforms itself from a liquid to solid state through heat it produces itself. We view this as an alchemical metamorphosis and prize this material for that purpose.
Each statue is hand-painted with black or gold to highlight her features. This statue measures 1.2x0.9x0.5 inches and can fit comfortably in a hand during meditation or a pocket while going about your day.
