Thus it also commands over the underworld and the other world. Since rice is the main food of this region, Dewi Sri is above all the revered rice goddess. She is portrayed as a goddess of unusual beauty. She is always portrayed as youthful, supple and slender. Basanite is a volcanic, greenish rock. The stone gets its characteristic colour from a lot of clay minerals. The small to medium sized indentations in the rock are a characteristic feature and mark the good quality of the natural stone. The sculptures are frost-resistant, but do not tolerate road salt.
