I've tried to give my back yard garden an oriental theme, mostly with items I've bought from Great Offer Stock.com. So many of their imported art items are beautifully made, authentic looking and a great value. This statue is no exception. It looks fantastic sitting near some Japanese Iris and helps to convey a tranquil and serene effect. It has weathered a New York winter unscathed, so it is durable. Its photo speaks for itself aesthetically, so the only thing that I can add is that if you are searching for that far eastern look in your garden, this handsome statue will get it for you. Highly recommended!
