Know before you buy
Because this piece weighs 254 lbs, it requires a stable, level surface to prevent sinking or tipping. We recommend placing it on a solid foundation like a stone paver, a concrete patio, or a compacted bed of crushed gravel rather than directly on soft soil or mulch.
The statue features an aged stone patina finish designed to evolve. While it is weather-resistant, the finish will naturally patina and weather over time, which adds to the piece's character and unique, lived-in aesthetic.
Yes, the cast stone concrete construction is durable and weather-resistant. However, to prevent potential moisture-related cracking, ensure the statue is not sitting in standing water or snow during freeze-thaw cycles.
No assembly is required. This is a solid, freestanding piece that arrives ready to be placed in your garden or indoor space immediately upon delivery.
Each Massarelli's statue is individually hand-built, meaning there will be subtle variations in the texture and the application of the stain. These slight differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure your tortoise is a one-of-a-kind piece.
