I absolutely love this figurine.  The detailing is high quality. The sweet expression of the deer reminds me of Bambi. I used it as the center piece of a Christmas display on the dining room buffet.  I included cotton-like snow, a 2' lighted flocked tree, lighted garland along the back edge of the buffet, an electric candle & a few Christmas decor springs. At night when the Christmas lights were on, to high-light buck & friends, it was lovely.  Had to smile each time I walked past the display. My 40+ year old son even remarked how nice it looked.  I'm sure it would be just as pleasing as a garden accent.
