Fervent Collectors, are ready to pay mammoth sums to get hold of such Rarities.

This is so; for obvious reasons, the former is created by an Artist and the latter is produced using a mould and can be done by almost anyone. Replicas of the 7 wonders of the world could cost a tidy sum. On the other hand Replicas of Deities are not all that expensive; however it depends on a person’s faith a lot. To a callous person such creations would mean nothing at all? On contrary to a Fanatic collector; it would mean the world. Many have a passion for such Rarities and many are interested in Butifying aspect of it and use such items as decoratives. What ever the motive; the bottom-line is that Metal Statues and Sculptions are considered valued items. It is not possible to physically transport the Statue of Liberty; to any other part of the Globe. So; one has to make do with a Replica. For all and sundry; these things are not easily available in the Market place also. First of all one would have to the whereabouts of an Antique Dealer shop.

Decorating ones Hall Room is passion to a many and they would go out of their way to get such items. If someone has Shrine at home; he/she would have had to make quite an effort to get the particular kind of Statue in mind. Even; if they are lucky enough to get what the have in mind.
