Italian marble.]
This monument, dedicated in 1878, is made of marble from Carrara, Italy.
The statue does not show much damage, but if you look closely, you can
see alteration crusts (some are light orange) in protected places and
graininess and roughness in places that are exposed to rain. Carved
statues present varied surfaces that direct rain washing and runoff.
