Emsco Group Virgin Mary Statue - Natural Sandstone Appearance - Made of Resin - Lightweight - 34" Height

Beautiful statue. There is a ridge of plastic but not noticeable from a distance. Everyone thinks it’s stone.

VERY light construction, seal line excess plastic all the way round top to bottom; has been very roughly trimmed and has been left with a shiny surface. Not very convincing stone effect.More than anything, nearly £100 is an outrageous cost for this item. Would still be expensive at half of that price.Returned.

Me encantó, ya se encuentra decorando mi jardín trasero

This statue is larger in scale and it looks great in the backyard. It is plastic that is weather resistant and it has a nice finish that looks like stone. You can fill out the statue with gravel to weight it down so that the wind does not knock it down. The only issue is that it is hard to remove the bottom cap to fill the statue with gravel. So you have to be careful removing it as to not to break it. Other than that the statue is very nice.

Looks cute.

First off - I want to explain that I bought this with some pretty high expectations.When I was a child there was church near my home that had a delightful garden grotto with a small statue of Mary. She was surrounded by azaleas, irises, lilies and such. It was cool in the shade and so peaceful - I used to go there by myself, sit on the grass and listen to the birds and leaves whisper. Pure tranquility.Fast forward 45 years to having a garden to putter and decide I need a statue of Mary and want it like the one I remember. Look high and low at statuary stores around me, catalogs and online. I compare stone, cement, resin and alabaster and price wasn't really the issue - it was the look.But then on Amazon, for a REALLY low price, I find this one - however - I wasn't crazy about it being plastic! Thinking what the heck - if it looks cheesy - I can send it back. I order it and a few days later - Mary is on my doorstep.Opened the box and was pleasantly surprised. The sandstone surface looked realistic - the texture was good, the color was accurate, the detail on the face was perfect - not to sharp, and nowhere did I see funky obvious seam lines that occur on most molded plastic items. Overall it looks realistic and appropriately weather worn.The only thing I thought was a little "too smooth" were the hands, that are attached separately to the main piece (they come well attached - no assembly required) and that's not very noticable. Overall look and quality is very good. Used a couple of pitchers of gravel & paving sand poured into the hole in the bottom. Placed on a leveled paver stone and she's in the garden standing upright with nary a tip or waiver.That was over 3 1/2 years ago and she looks as perfect today as then. She's been through heat - even a 104 degree summer, and cold in a 8 degree winter with ice and snow on her shoulders. She shows no signs of wear - no dings, cracks or chips in the shell or finish. She's had bunnies and birds - nothing has chewed on her that I can see. Small evergreen boughs have fallen on her but nothing made a scratch or dent. She stands as beautiful and tranquil as the day she arrived.I highly recommend this product. I didn't write a review sooner because I wanted to see how well she weathered. So far so good!

Made with good quality material looks good in the Rose garden.
