The goddess Persephone is known for serving as Goddess of Spring, but she also operated in a variety of other important roles in Greek mythology. Like her mother, Demeter, Persephone was an agriculturally based goddess who presided over grains and vegetation, leading her to be known as the Goddess of Vegetation. However, aside from serving in her own individual role as one of the Olympian gods, she also ruled over the Underworld with Hades.
In the Underworld, Persephone was something of a protectress. Hades had many dealings with various heroes like Hercules, Odysseus, and Orpheus that traipsed throughout his domain, and usually, he was not very understanding once he discovered them. In most cases, these heroes ended up owning their lives and eventual freedom to Persephone, who would intervene and rescue heroes from what would often be grisly fates.

This item is made of Cold Cast Bronze.
Cold cast bronze is when real powdered bronze metal is mixed in with resin. It is then cast into a mould creating a very realistic replica of a solid bronze piece. This process creates a high quality piece with much greater detail than you will see with a solid bronze piece. These pieces are hand painted to bring out beautiful detail.
