These ancient artifacts, steeped in mythology and archaeology, offer a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Greece. Despite some damage over time, these statues still retain their majestic beauty. The attention to detail is evident as each fold of their robes is meticulously carved, adding depth and realism to their portrayal. Persephone stands gracefully beside her mother Demeter, both goddesses exuding strength and grace through their serene expressions. The horizontal composition allows us to appreciate every aspect of this masterpiece. It transports us back to ancient times when gods and goddesses were revered by the people.
