Know before you buy
Yes, the statue is cast in durable designer resin, which is designed to withstand outdoor elements. However, to preserve the faux stone finish over many years, we recommend bringing it indoors or covering it during harsh winter conditions.
No assembly is required. The statue is designed as a freestanding piece, so you can simply place it on a flat surface like a garden path, patio, or bookshelf.
The statue weighs 5 pounds and has a wide, low-profile base measuring 21 inches in width. While it is stable on level ground, you may want to place it in a sheltered area if you live in a region with high winds.
You can easily clean the statue by wiping it down with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the faux stone finish.
The finish is designed to mimic the texture and color of natural stone while maintaining the lightweight benefits of resin. It provides a classic, weathered look that blends seamlessly into garden landscapes.
