Troubleshooting
Statue appears unstable
Ensure the statue is placed on a completely flat and solid surface. If placed on uneven ground, level the area or use a shim.

Minor chips or scratches
Small imperfections can be carefully touched up with a stone-effect paint matching the original color. For larger damage, consult a professional stone repair specialist.
