Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Due to its weight (20 kg), careful planning is required for placement. Ensure the chosen location can adequately support its mass. For wall mounting, use appropriate fixings designed for heavy ornaments. For ground placement, ensure a stable and level surface.
Compatibility: This statue is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. It is compatible with most garden settings, from formal to wild landscapes. It complements other garden ornaments and landscaping elements.
Care: To maintain its appearance, gently clean the statue periodically with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the hand-finished details.
