The st Francis garden statue was just the right size and was different than traditional st Francis statues. This is one of the few st Francis garden statues that includes the depiction of the wolf, which is central to the Franciscan connection with nature. St Francis communicated with wolf so as to disuay his attacks on the village of Assisi. Also, the image of st Francis with his arms to the sky is symbolic of the Franciscan Tao and his sermon to the trees, another connection to his reverence to God through respect of the environment. This was unique, and we have had storms and much rain and the statue is still in place and in great condition. The birdbath attracts humming birds because of oust size. The packaging was great.
