1. Assessment of the specifications

• Height (32 cm) & Width (15 cm) including base: This is the larger and most coveted salon edition of this specific model. The smaller variants often measure around 21 to 26 cm incl. base. A total height of 32 cm gives the statue a powerful and imposing presence.
• Weight (5.7 kilos): This weight is a very strong indicator of solid bronze. Cheaper materials from that era (such as hollow-cast zamak or regulé) weigh typically considerably less (often between 2.5 and 4 kilos). This high weight confirms the solid quality of the casting and the density of the precious Portoro marble.
• Will be insured and well packed for shipping.
