Campania International Tortoise Shell Express

Yes, weighing in at 108 pounds, this cast stone sculpture is substantial and stable. It is unlikely to be moved or tipped over by typical wind conditions.

Cast stone is durable, but it is porous. To ensure longevity, we recommend placing it on a permeable surface like gravel or concrete rather than directly on soil, and taking precautions during winter freeze-thaw cycles to prevent cracking.

Yes, the Tortoise Shell Express arrives as a single, solid piece. No assembly is required, so you can place it in your garden immediately upon unboxing.

While it is designed for outdoor use, the material is susceptible to damage from freeze-thaw cycles. In colder climates, it is best to cover the sculpture or move it to a sheltered area during the winter months.

Because each piece is handcrafted, you may notice slight variations in the finish and color. These nuances are a natural part of the cast stone process and give the sculpture its unique, artisanal character.
