The life size hand-carved and hand-painted Apple (Mela) Red/Yellow is made of a solid chunk of white Carrara Marble from Italy. A secret process is used for the coloring phase. Minerals from all over the world are used for the dyes. The painting techniques vary according to the fruit itself (brushing, dipping, blowing, etc.). Natural fruit stems are added to the fruit as realistic accents.

The marble fruit you are looking at is a sculpture and a painting all in one - a true piece of art.
