FAQs
Is the ornament made of plastic?
No, it is crafted from durable cast iron.
Can this be kept outdoors all year round?
Yes, it is designed for outdoor use; however, moving it to a sheltered area during extreme winter weather can help maintain its appearance.
What are the exact dimensions?
The ornament measures 11.5cm in length, 5.5cm in height, and 8cm in width.
Will it rust?
As it is made of cast iron, it is susceptible to oxidation if the protective black coating is scratched, but it is built to withstand standard garden environments.
Does it require assembly?
No, the ornament arrives as a single, solid piece and requires no assembly.
Can it be used indoors?
Absolutely, the classic design makes it a suitable decor piece for bookshelves or indoor plant displays as well.
Troubleshooting
Ornament appears slightly uneven or has surface marks
These are intended features of the cast iron casting process and contribute to the rustic charm of the piece.
Ornament slides on smooth surfaces
Apply a small adhesive rubber pad or piece of outdoor-rated mounting putty to the base to increase grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe occasionally with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or garden debris.
- Maintenance: If the black finish begins to fade over many years, a light coat of exterior-grade metal paint can be applied to restore the appearance.
- Winter Care: While the ornament is weather-resistant, placing it in a sheltered spot or indoors during harsh winter months can help preserve the finish for longer.
