I have purchased several of these exact same statues. I appreciate the change in wing attachment design I've seen over time; however, the reason for multiple purchases is the durability of the statue. I have it sitting on a very shallow stone very close to the ground, but the wings catch the wind and if it topples over the wings break. I've used removable clear weather sealant to adhere the bottom to the stone, but this doesn't always hold for the entire spring/summer/fall season. It is so beautiful I've ordered multiple, even gave one as a gift that the recipient decided to put on an indoor pedestal. Just wish it were more durable.
