Know before you buy
The water feature is entirely optional. The statue comes piped, allowing you to connect it to a pump if you wish to create a fountain effect, but it functions perfectly well as a standalone decorative sculpture if you prefer not to use the water feature.
At 49 pounds, this statue has a substantial base, but it is designed for freestanding installation. For added security in high-wind areas or on uneven ground, you may want to place it on a level stone pad or use a discreet anchor system.
Yes, as a genuine bronze piece, the statue will develop a natural patina over time when exposed to the elements. This process is a hallmark of high-quality bronze and will typically enhance the character and depth of the sepia and emerald verde finishes.
Minimal maintenance is needed. You can occasionally rinse the statue with clean water to remove dust or debris, and if you notice any buildup, a soft cloth with mild soap is sufficient. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could strip the hand-applied patina.
Yes, the bronze construction is durable enough to be placed in or near a pond. However, ensure the base is placed on a stable, level surface beneath the water to prevent the statue from tilting or sinking into soft pond sediment.
