Design execution, detail and excellent! Finish could be improved. Surface looks painted, should be a faux appearance of an actual material such as bronze, copper, stone. This finish doesn't hit that mark. Overall I am happy with it. It has a prominent place in front of our fire place. I would recommend it to others to buy. I have a lot of statuary I have bought from Toscano and Basil Street that are both well executed and finished. I would give the execution a 95% rating, the finish an 80%; and overall appearance an 88%. All in all it is a wonderful piece, glad I got it, would recommend it.
