Our Pocket Aphrodite is a handmade mini statue of Aphrodite that is perfectly portable to be able to bring Our Lady of Love anywhere you go! This statuette is available in three styles: Classic, Seafoam Sunset, and Aphrodite’s Cove. Each one is rooted in Aphrodite’s symbology to help foster a connection with her. All styles are handmade using real scallop shells that are dipped in gold along one edge and a clay relief of a mermaid sitting at the seaside. Our Classic style is features a gold-accented relief of a mermaid handmade from white clay nestled inside a gold-dipped scallop shell on a bed of real rose petals with clear resin ‘water’ appearing to pour out from behind the relief. Our Seafoam Sunset design includes the same gold-dipped shell, rose petals, and clear ‘water’ pouring from behind the relief as seen in our Classic design. This version is made from a faintly rosy pink clay and painted a soft blue to be reminiscent of the sea at twilight, when blue ocean waves crash into shallow water dyed pink by the sunset. Our Aphrodite’s Cove style is inspired by what a Roman bath connected to the sea might look like, with the gold-dipped scallop shell forming a cove-like bath facing the sea. The water is colored pink by the sunset over the sea, as shallow water can be in nature, whose waves cause Aphrodite's signature seafoam rippling on the water's surface. A handmade gold-accented clay relief of a mermaid represents Aphrodite luxuriating in her seaside cove, with rose petals on the water's surface to complete her bath. This small statue is perfect for use on any at-home altar, as an offering to Lady Aphrodite, and as a portable statue that can be brought with you while traveling to have a piece of your home altar with you on the go. Please be aware that this icon is fragile and should be protected when packed for traveling. There are some variations between each Pocket Aphrodite, as each are made with real scallop shells as the housing, which vary in size. Each statue will appear slightly different to adjust for the different sizing of the scallop shells, making every Pocket Aphrodite unique! Each style has a slightly different range of sizes (height x width in inches): Classic: 1.1x1.5 - 1.4x1.75in Seafoam Sunset: 1.3x1.5 - 1.5x1.6 Aphrodite’s Cove: 1.5x2 - 1.5x2.5in
