Our Pocket Kybele 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 draws inspiration from an ancient statue of Kybele where she is depicted in nearly the same manner. She sits recessed in an alcove, like the caves her temples are often found in. She's seated on her throne, with her typical tympanum drum in right hand while her left rests on one of the lions she raises.
She is currently available in the following materials:
Bonded charcoal
Bonded atomized copper
Bonded iron oxide
Bonded statuary bronze
Bonded 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.
Golden: This is the only statue not made of natural materials. It's made with resin and colored with golden 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 and/or gold to highlight her features. This statue measures 1.6x1.6x0.4 inches and can fit comfortably in a hand during meditation or a pocket while going about your day.
