Kariyah Figurines & Sculptures

Features

• This Copenhagen Museum And Rome Italy Temple Grounds Rendition Of Thorvaldsen's Apostle is made of cold cast polyresin, hand painted and polished individually in off white finish. Resins last forever with proper placement and care. Impact can break resins but if you display in a showcase untouched, you can pass these sculptures down from generation to generation.
• Bertel Thorvaldsen's work and personal gift to the Copenhagen Museum in Denmark showcases the unique features of the 12 apostles of Jesus Christ. The museum also features 'Christus' as the focal point, originally made of Carrara marble. The original masterpieces in life size can be found at the "Christ Hall" at the museum in the past and is being moved from time to time to other notable areas in Europe. As of 2019, the statues are showcased in Rome Italy Temple Grounds.
• Saint Simon the Apostle, also called Simon the Zealot, was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ. He preached the Gospel in Egypt and then joined the apostle St. Judas (Thaddaeus) in Persia, where, according to the apocryphal Acts of Simon and Judas, he was martyred by being cut in half with a saw, one of his chief iconographic symbols (another being a book). The saw held in front represents the tradition of Simon Zelotes’ death in Persia.
