As a fertility god, Artemis was particularly revered in Ephesus, close to Ortygia, believed to be his birthplace. Here, her cult included eastern elements (borrowed from goddesses such as Isis, Cybele, and the "Lady of the Beasts"), and her principal symbols were the bee, date palm, and deer. Considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the city's famous temple of Artemis (started circa 550 BC) was almost twice the size of Athens' Parthenon when it was finally finished after a century of work. The temple had 127 columns, and the architrave blocks above them, weighing about 24 tons each, were so heavy that the Ephesians admitted that Artemis had helped in the construction. Inside the temple was a giant cult statue of the goddess made of cedar wood. All that remains of the temple today is its foundations and, sadly, a single column erected from the compound remains.
-The original is displayed in the Ephesus Museum.
-Produced from pressed marble powder.
-Produced from the original molds of the works from the museum.
-Can be used indoors and outdoors.
