Ama Menec writes; “This life sized, (if a Goddess can be life sized), Nile Goddess comes from the days before the Pharos, before hieroglyphs, and so we do not know her name. This figure was often painted onto pots, floating above boats, and found in graves along the River Nile, particularly in the Naqada region. Sometimes these sculptures would have the wavy lines painted on symbolising the river Nile, and these would then have boats painted on top. That she was found in graves, with no other gods, and no organised religion at the time, suggests she is where the regenerative gods began, as the Nile was the most powerful force around, renewing life every year when it floods. This sculpture took two years to make and has crystals within the glaze that makes her body glitter like a river when the sun is strong. When it rains, she goes all dark and broody, just as a river does when it rains. These were made originally in earthenware clay around 4,000 BCE.”
This is a beautiful, elegant and thoughtful piece which anyone would be lucky to have, created by a masterful sculptress.

- The ArtParkS Guarentee
All the sculptures on the website are described by the Artists themselves stating the materiel they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors they have a guarentee of 10 years subject to the effects of weathering which will alter their colour and finish over the years unless you give them regular cleaning and maintenance. For instance Bronze and to a lesser extent bronze resin/cold cast bronze will aquire a green patina, usually rather sought after and all could attract moss lichen and a greeny pollen especially under trees which should be removed regularly with warm water and washing up liquid.
Iron and steel will oxidise(rust ) and this falls outside our guarentee.
Organic materiel like wood, bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited and you should discuss any guarentee direct with the Artist as this too falls outside our Guarentee. - How does ArtParkS protect you?
From the moment you place an order and pay ArtParkS you are protected, because half is immediately used to pay the Artists deposit and the other half is retained till the sculpture is delivered safely’.
