This is an extremely rare and early example of statuary specifically intended for garden ornamental purposes
which is in superb condition (being 190 years old) without any restorations and with only areas of minor chipping to the surface. 

This wonderful item would look equally impressive either in a garden setting or as an internal centre piece in a hall or conservatory.
