About the height of a standard sheet of paper on its side, and wide enough to need a surface of at least 10 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it solid brass or plated?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSolid brass throughout. At 4,500 g the weight itself confirms it — a plated or hollow piece this size would be a fraction of that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the finish change over time?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBrass darkens naturally. The antique gold finish is intended to deepen with age. If you prefer it brighter, a standard brass polish restores the shine; if you like the patina, simply leave it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDust with a dry cloth. Avoid water, and do not put it in a dishwasher. For a deeper clean use a brass polish sparingly and buff dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it go outdoors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is made for indoor use. Brass will weather and spot outdoors, so keep it under cover if you place it on a porch or patio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a stand or base included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe statue sits on its own engraved cushion base. No separate stand is needed or supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if it arrives damaged?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping is insured.
