The statuette is made out of the best type of stone i.e; Soapstone, a metamorphic rock which is composed primarily of talc and is usually very soft. Soapstone is typically grey, bluish, green, or brown in colour, often variegated. Its name is derived from its “soapy” feel and softness. The very famous statue of Rio De Janeiro, Brazil was also made of the same kind of soapstone.
