Know before you buy
No, the statue is piped to accommodate water flow, but the pump kit is sold separately. You will need to purchase a compatible pump to enable the cascading water effect from the dolphins' mouths.
The statue features a hand-applied patina that is designed for outdoor durability. To maintain its appearance, simply rinse it with clean water periodically to remove debris, and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could strip the protective finish.
Yes, because it is cast from solid bronze using the traditional lost wax method, the statue has significant weight. However, for added stability in high-wind areas or near a pond edge, we recommend securing it to a level, reinforced base.
Yes, the bronze material is suitable for placement in or near a pond. Ensure the statue is placed on a stable, flat surface within the water to prevent tipping, and verify that your pump setup is rated for the specific depth of your pond.
The lost wax method is a traditional technique that allows for exceptional detail and structural integrity. This process ensures that each statue captures the intricate textures of the dolphins' forms while creating a durable, heirloom-quality piece.
