I got this statue for my wife for Christmas. She loves it and so do I. It's one of the prettiest renditions of the Virgin Mary we've come across. 

The statue is well detailed and the proportions are correct. As Art teachers, we are rather particular about such things.

The face is lovely with a peaceful expression. We've passed up many a Madonna statue because the face and expression were not right to us.

We're keeping it indoors for the winter. Northern New Hampshire is very cold this time of year and most resins and plastics get brittle. If we can part with it in the house, we intend to find a place in the garden for it in spring. Otherwise, we'll just have to get one more!

We haven't had it long enough to determine how durable it is. We are hoping that it is UV resistant because that is what breaks down most plastics and resins.

Also, our grandchildren ( 4 and 6 years old ) absolutely love her!
