Greek Goddess Persephone Statuette : Queen of Dual Realms

Persephone Goddess Altar Decor: Underworld & Spring Goddess Figurine

This handcrafted wooden statue intricately depicts Persephone, the Greek Queen of the Underworld and Goddess of Spring. Her poignant story embodies the cycle of life, death, and rebirth, highlighting her dual existence between the dark realm of Hades and the vibrant earth above.

The statue powerfully tells the story of Persephone's forced duality. A ruined left column, entwined with a withered dry vine, vividly symbolizes her descent and departure to the kingdom of Hades, representing the barrenness that accompanies her absence from the surface. Her bare chest evokes the sad and often debated tale of Hades's abuse and her forced union. In her hands, she holds a pomegranate, the fruit that forever binds her to the underworld, and skulls, further signifying her dominion over the deceased. Above her, an arch bears the image of her loving mother, Demeter, whose profound grief and persistent love compel Persephone's return from her underground imprisonment, bringing forth spring. The right column symbolizes Persephone's time on earth with Demeter, a period of vital fertility, flourishing life, and renewed growth. This wooden statue beautifully captures the complexity and profound symbolism of Persephone’s story, making it a captivating addition to your home or sacred altar.

This wooden figurine is designed with a flat back and features a special loop/hook, allowing it to be easily mounted on a wall.
