Know before you buy
This piece is crafted using the traditional lost wax casting method, which creates a hollow bronze structure. This technique allows for intricate detailing while keeping the weight manageable for placement in a garden setting.
The hand-applied color-washed patina is designed for outdoor durability. While it will naturally age over time, you can maintain the original luster by occasionally wiping it down with a soft cloth and applying a high-quality clear wax specifically formulated for bronze outdoor sculptures.
While the statue can be placed on a flat, stable surface, we recommend installing it on a level stone, concrete, or paver base. This prevents the bronze from sinking into soft soil and protects the finish from moisture and debris.
Weighing 54 pounds, the statue has a substantial footprint. However, if you live in an area with high winds or are placing it on an elevated surface, you may want to consider using a hidden mounting bracket or adhesive to secure it to your base.
Yes, this is a 360-degree sculpture. It is designed to be viewed from any angle, making it an ideal choice for placement in the center of a garden bed or a circular courtyard.
