Persephone was the daughter of Demeter, goddess of the earth and harvest. Demeter was responsible for the growth of plants and crops, and Persephone helped her. Pluto, god of the Underworld, wanted to marry Persephone and asked Zeus`s permission to do so. Zeus avoided answering Pluto`s request, however, knowing the Demeter would never agree. One day Pluto found Persephone alone, kidnapped her, and took her down to Hades. Classic depiction of Pluto and Persephone, fine details thru-out this cold-cast resin statue. Approx 14'' tall.
