How it was made

▪ Marble stone was used in this sculpture. It’s a metamorphic rock

formed as a result of changes brought about in the structure of
sedimentary or igneous rocks by extreme pressure or heat. Marble
was used because it’s relatively soft and easy to work when first
quarried, it becomes extremely hard and dense with age. Marble
differs from one variety to another, usually because of colour,
texture, weathering, and chemical composition. Although famous for
its pure white surface.
