The Fountain of Minerva depicts a scene from the Trojan war, where Minerva, wrathful with Ajax, beckons Neptune to raise a storm to smite the Aechean fleet. It also reflects the broad composition of the Fontana di Trevi, the conch-bearing Triton fountain, the profusion of waterspouts at Villa D'Este, and the neoclassical Diana D'anet at the Louvre. Her dynamic posture was precedent for the third figure in this fountain, the Nereid Cymodoce.

This project was 2 years in the making, two trips to Rome, and about 10,000 person hours between Tomak and a team of volunteers. The Fountain has been at the Loveland Colorado Sculpture Invitational, Mythic Journeys Joseph Campbell Centennial, the Pennsic War, and the Michigan Renaissance Festival.

For portability, it was cast in a composition of acrylic, epoxy and fiberglass with a segmented wooden platform. This replica alabaster captures the luminosity of the real thing without compromising the weathersafe longevity of outdoor resins. There is some diffusion of visible detail because of this translucence, regained when antiquing is applied, or when the whole is cast in bronze or carved in stone.

Norse mythology designates Wotan (Odin) as chief among the gods, most powerful and most revered—but also most feared. Ruling from a mountaintop half-way between the lands of frost and fire, Wotan was said to sometimes give his warrior devotees the ability to perform great feats of strength and valor. Usually depicted as an older man with a long gray beard, NetherCraft's representation of Wotan shows a much younger god, with rippling muscles and battle axe at hand. Poised here awaiting the return of his two Raven familiars, Wotan stands as a reflection of the stalwart warrior in all of us. Take inspiration from his unflagging strength. A single shelf bracket will hold up to 20lbs when mounted with two screws, or combine two brackets to hold a total shelf weight of up to 40lbs between them.

In Norse Mythology, the Valkyries were battle maidens who served Odin, ruler of the gods. Beautiful and deadly, the Valkyries directed battles and chose which warriors would die. This exquisitely detailed Valkyrie looks ready to leave her post at any moment to follow the gods into battle. Notice the serpentine dragon design on her belt, the grip ridges on her dagger, and the tiny studs securing the "worn leather" of her dagger strap. A single shelf bracket will hold up to 20lbs. when mounted with two screws, or combine two brackets to hold a total shelf weight of up to 40lbs. between them.

No one's quite sure how this statue got named after the villain from Last of the Mohicans, but that scowl probably has something to do with it. Magua's bad attitude may help explain his popularity, too. Everybody has days when they feel just like he looks. Traffic jams... stupid bosses... heartburn from too much bad coffee... Magua knows. Magua understands. Put him next to your computer or your telephone, and with every file error or telemarketing call you will know you're not alone.

People occasionally let Tomak know what they do with their Tiki-Maguas. Some creative uses include: A hood ornament on a golf cart (Slippery Rock, PA); An aid to creating personal mystery (Waterford, MI); This satisfied Magua owner suggests: "Put him on your desk where he is clearly visible. Occasionally leave offerings of paper clips or small pieces of chocolate. When people ask, refuse to discuss him."; A charming (if unsolicited) addition to a world-reknowned art collection. (Rome, Italy)

What are you going to do with your Magua? (If it will likely result in a call to the police or a trip to the hospital, we don't want to know).

Now we finally know what's been making Magua so crabby for all these years! This is his "consort," Abubuju. Nobody else has a wife, mother or girlfriend with an expression like that!

The Green Man's leafy face first appeared in the art of ancient Rome. Later his image appeared on fountains, cathedrals and decorative moldings throughout medieval and Renaissance Europe. Scholars aren't sure how old he is or where he came from, but everyone agrees that he represents life—green, growing and irrepressable. NetherCraft's Green Man is detailed down to the veins in his oak leaf hair. Since this wall relief is made from weatherproof resin, you can hang your Green Man out in your garden and never worry about damage due to rain or temperature extremes.

If you're out in the woods on a midsummer night, you may find the Faerie Queen holding court in her crown of grape leaves. Be careful—even great kings and knights have fallen under her spell. NetherCraft's Faerie Queen is cast in all-weather resin so you can display her indoors or out.

This majestic mythical beast sits poised and ready to pounce, his powerful claws curled to take a swipe at a hapless knight. With his jaw clenched in concentration, you can almost hear the throaty rumble of a gathering growl as he watches, and waits, for his next likely prey. Perhaps he would guard your treasure, or the entryway of your home - imagine him lurking around an unexpected bend in your garden path, or nestled amongst some greenery just near the front steps.

Just short of two feet long, with a serpentine neck rising a foot and half high, this piece is one of Tomak's largest portable sculptures. These dimensions allow for stunning detail on the dragon's carved scales and spiney protrusions. Notice the uneven fangs and fanciful expression this dragon wears, giving just a hint of his true nature. He may be not so threatening after all. Or... is he? Cast in all-weather resin, your dragon will be equally at home indoors or out.

This toothy little gargoyle guards your treasures with a magnetic grip. Magnets embedded in the sides and lid of the box are powerful enough to let you lift it like a single-piece statue. A gentle tug separates the box from the lid. (Not visible: The inner surface of the lid is sculpted to look like the groining of a barrel-vault ceiling.)

Admit it. You've always wanted a giant Cthulhu statue. Now you can have it. Nethercraft's interpretation of H.P. Lovecraft's Great Old One is perfect for home or office, and makes a thoughtful gift... just imagine their faces! When placed in the front yard of your home, it also does a great job of deterring door-to-door solicitors, and, well, almost everyone else too. Please contact NetherCraft to discuss pricing, delivery, and installation of Cthulhu. Serious inquirers may email tomak@nethercraft.com. If you're wondering, "Who or what is Cthulhu?" visit cthulhu.org for the answer. Verdigris finish shown.

Widely believed to bestow immortality upon anyone who possessed it, the Ankh was one of Ancient Egypt's most sacred symbols. Representing both physical and eternal life, the Ankh was usually worn as an amulet to extend the life of the living, and also placed on mummies to protect against decay. Although NetherCraft does not guarantee that this Ankh will make you live forever, we do promise that this unique carving will bring an air of grace and mystery to your dwelling place. Share in the sacred tradition of Egyptian gods and kings, and be reminded that all life is divine.

It's one of the most haunting images of Ireland—a stone cross standing on a deserted hillside, ancient and mysterious. This Celtic Cross is made of textured resin that makes it visually indistinguishable from stone, and it's light enough to hang on your wall.

Celtic Crosses have a compelling quality that you don't have to be Irish, or even Christian, to appreciate. The basic symbol, a cross in a circle, is very ancient and has been found as far from Ireland as India. NetherCraft's Celtic Crosses are ornamented with celtic knotwork, another ancient art form. The wandering lines, with no beginning and no end, are said to symbolize eternity.

This small faerie is peacefully dreaming of butterfly wings, flower fields, and Orlando Bloom. With her knees curled under her chin and one tiny hand tucked under her cheek, she's the picture of serenity. Measuring just 6.5 inches across, you can slip her into any shady corner of your garden or even a favorite house plant.

This growling dwarf may look fierce, but luckily he's on your side! Hang his growling visage anywhere that you might like a bit of extra supervision to guard against snoops and sneakers in your home.

This classic shield sports a realistically-sculpted wood texture, and traditional fleur-de-lis and lyon insignia. It might be designed as a prop for child's play, but the look is sure to appeal to adults and children alike.
