Know before you buy
Yes, the statue is crafted using the traditional lost wax method and finished with a durable emerald verde patina, making it suitable for long-term outdoor display.
No, the 120 GPH pond pump kit required for the water spout function is sold separately. You will need to purchase this kit independently to integrate the statue into your existing water feature.
The statue is designed with an internal channel that allows you to feed tubing from your pump through the tortoise's mouth. Once the pump is installed in your pond or basin, simply secure the tubing to the spout opening.
The hand-applied emerald verde patina is designed to provide a classic, aged look from the start. While bronze can naturally weather over many years, this finish is intended to maintain its aesthetic appeal in outdoor environments.
The statue is cast using traditional bronze methods, which provides a substantial, heirloom-quality weight. It is generally stable enough for garden placement, though you may want to ensure it is set on a level surface.
