How heavy is the garden ornament?

Troubleshooting
Statue appears unstable.
Ensure the statue is placed on a perfectly level and firm surface. If on soft ground, consider placing it on a paving slab or concrete base. The statue's weight should provide stability on a flat surface.
Color seems to fade slightly over time.
While designed for outdoor use, prolonged direct sunlight can naturally affect the vibrancy of any outdoor material. Consider repositioning the statue to a location with partial shade if excessive fading is a concern.
Minor chips or marks on the surface.
For small chips, a stone repair compound or concrete filler may be used. For minor marks, a gentle cleaning with a damp cloth usually suffices. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
