This statue is just exquisite! The quality and the painting are beautiful.They look like they could come to life.My daughter just bought a house in Fla. and this is going to look fabulous in her entryway.Like me you will wish it was about a foot bigger because it is so lifelike.Not a statue I would put outdoors because even though it has a nice weight to it I would worry about it in high winds.It is much too beautiful to be put out in the weather.Will definately be buying from this company again.Check out the sea turtle they sell also.She will be getting that for Christmas.
