I have had this in our family for years. My grandmother is 102 yrs old and doing well and loves history had given it to me years ago. I have taken good care of it for years. I see there is a collectors group of the Hearst Castle. I would love for this to go to great people to add to their collection that will be treasured and cared well for. I myself have seen this in the Hearst Castle collection room in person, the real statue.
I've done some research and found this to be a very good replica. Looks like a marble resin combo. I have had it in my garden. Right now it is inside my home. I belive it to be very old considering it come from my sweet 102 Italian Grandmother, Isabella. Who traveled a lot and was a collector or many years of items she felt were a great investment. I had seen it in her living room for years, maybe 30 years and as she gave it to me years ago.
It is just under 25 inches tall. I have it next to an ipod to show the size next to something.
I am entertaining offers at this time. I would like to see it go to a good new home to be cherished years to come.
Please forward over to any possible buyers you think would be interested. If you have any information on auctions that would be good to enter this statue, I sure would appreciate it.
I look forward to hearing back with any comments, interest or referrals.
Best Regards,
Shell Munson

 | ~Information on similar Venus statues I have found in research ~ (I like the continuous round marble combo base on mine rather than this green marble)Venus Italica Italian Marble Statue7X7X26 inchesMade out of Bonded Carrara Marble.Must stay indoors.Italian Marble StatueItalians have always been known for their remarkable art and design. In addition to their original sculptures and other fine art they are also known for their detailed marble castings. Accents in the Garden now offers these beautiful Italian statues for your home. We hope you enjoy our selection as much as we do.How are they made This fine statuary is created by reconstituting real Carrara marble approximately 70% marble and 30% resin. This allows for exceptional detail that would be very difficult if not impossible to sculpt from a solid block of marble. Some sculptures are supported by a genuine black Carrara marble base to give it the elegance it deserves..Available Finishes Nature already provides a natural off white finish. We wouldn't want to cover up what is already perfect. Therefore44 these pieces are left unfinished.
