Stone Statues
Stones are beautiful and have attracted
sculptors forever. Designed by dexterous sculptors and artists, the
statues come in a wide range of subjects, materials, styles, prices
and design. Sandstone, limestone, granite, soapstone, marble, all have
been used to make statues.
Each type of stone as per its hardness and grain can bear a certain
amount of carving and chiseling. According to this the artist carves
out a statue from stone. Stone statues decorate the interiors and the
gardens and patios. They can be of various sizes. The craftsmanship is
based on classical, contemporary, figurative, and abstract styles of
carving. One can choose as per the general décor and aura of
the place.
Most common types of statues are Egyptian themes, birds and animal
figures, busts, religious and buddha statues. These themes have been
in vogue for centures and have yet not aged.
