Our spaniel friend is crafted of a mixture of crushed stone and fiberglass. The surface is then sandblasted and treated to create the rust finish. Variations in color will occur. This weather-resistant item may be left outdoors indefinitely. Please note: Each item is made to order. The artisan workshop does not maintain inventory and is the last facility in the USA making fiberglass garden ornaments and containers. We estimate fulfillment can take up to four week (and sometimes longer). Hence, it is not recommended that you order if you require delivery in less time.
