This dragon was purchased as a gift. She had to show it off to all the customers at work for a few days. Being lighted added to it uniqueness. The colors are very vivid and the sculpture is of high quality. She said better than most of her collection. The only reason I gave "average" to ease of maintenance is that it is a sculpture! I will definitely be back for more. No matter where else and whatever I looked at for dragons I ended back here to purchase.
