The statue finally came .  It was wrapped very well. It looks more like a wood carving but it is some kind of resin. Not heavy. Very detailed down to his beard and his clothing.  It is a nice size statue that will look beautiful in my front garden.  Hopefully it will hold up in the rain and I will bring it in when it gets too cold outside so that hopefully I get many years out of it.  Very good buy. Used my points, so it was a bargain.  Yes I love this St. Frances statue.
