Product Description
LARGE GARDEN STATUES
Three Feet of It, and Forty Seven Pounds
Deep set brows, a long straight nose, a jutting lower lip and a flat crown. The surface is pitted and weathered the way volcanic rock is after centuries in the open.
At 35.6 inches this is near three feet. Most garden statues are knee height and get discovered rather than seen. This one reads from the road, from an upstairs window, from the far end of a lawn.
Forty seven pounds is what makes that possible. A piece this size in a lighter material would need anchoring and would still shift. This one goes on grass and stays exactly where you left it.

What Makes This Piece Different
- Height that changes what the piece does. At knee height a statue is something you notice once you are near it. At three feet it organizes the space it stands in, which is why this one works at the end of a sightline, beside a drive or on an open lawn where a smaller piece would simply disappear into the grass.
- Forty seven pounds, so no anchoring. Weight is what lets a tall piece stand in the open. Lighter versions of this shape need pinning down and still move in a season of wind.
- A weathered surface, not a smooth cast. Pitted and irregular, the way volcanic stone erodes. A smooth gray face at this size would read as a moulded shell rather than as carved rock.
- One face, seen from one side. The features are cut deep enough to hold shadow through the middle of the day, which is when most cast detail flattens out and gives itself away.
Where to put it
It needs space around it and a clear line to look down. An open lawn, the end of a path, beside a driveway, against a hedge that gives the silhouette something to sit against. Set it on level solid ground. In a small courtyard a piece this size will dominate rather than furnish.

Setup, Care, and Warranty
Placement
One piece, nothing to assemble. It takes two people to position at 47 pounds, so decide the spot before it arrives.
Set it on level solid ground. On soft soil this weight will settle unevenly within a season and a tilted head is very visible.
Keeping the surface right
Rinse with plain water and a soft brush. The pitted surface is meant to look weathered, so light staining and moss on the shaded side improve it rather than spoil it.
Winter
Sealed concrete handles freeze and thaw well. Because this piece has no basin there is nothing to drain, but check that water is not pooling around the base where it sits.
Moving it later
Two people, and lift from the base rather than the neck. At this weight and height the center of gravity is high, so carry it upright rather than tilted.
3-year warranty
This product includes a 3-year warranty against cracking. Coverage, claim requirements and required documents are subject to the warranty policy that applies at the time of purchase. Keep your order confirmation and contact customer support with your order details if service is needed.
Questions Before You Choose
How big is it really?
35.6 inches, which is just under three feet, and 47.4 pounds. It comes to about hip height on most adults. Photographs of garden statues flatter the size, so it is worth measuring the spot first.
Does it need anchoring?
No. Forty seven pounds on level ground holds without pinning, which is the main reason to choose concrete over a lighter material at this height.
Where does it work best?
Open lawn, the end of a path, beside a drive, against a hedge. It wants space and a sightline. In a small courtyard it takes over rather than fits in.
Will it weather further?
Yes, and it improves with it. Moss on the shaded side and light staining add to a surface that is already meant to look eroded.
