{"product_id":"hades-statue-greek-god-underworld-ash-wood","title":"Hades Statue — Hand-Carved Ash Wood Greek God of the Underworld","description":"\u003cp\u003eHades is one of the most powerful and misunderstood figures in Greek mythology — ruler of the underworld, lord of the dead, and keeper of the earth’s hidden treasures. Son of Kronos and Rhea, brother of Zeus and Poseidon, Hades received dominion over the realm of the dead when the world was divided among the three brothers. Stern, just, and unyielding, he is not a god of evil but of inevitability — the final destination of every soul. This hand-carved Hades statue captures his dark authority in ecological ash wood, finished with a warm varnish that brings out the natural depth of the grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach piece is individually hand-carved — no two are identical.
