Beautiful Toscana lion statue I bought for my front walk garden looks great and is lightweight enough for me to handle by myself. Visitors think it is real stone, because of the deeply etched and beautifully textured design, but it is a lightweight compound that has a marble finish to it. Because its so lightweight, I can easily bring it in for the winter, so it doesnt freeze or crack. It looks beautiful in my home, where it sits in my foyer to welcome winter guests as a piece of art. In fact an of these would make a great statue for inside.
