I was looking for a beautiful altar piece. I was debating if I should buy the Gaia bronze or the color. I decided on the color and I was afraid of messy colors...you know when you get a statue and the lips and eyes are painted outside the line? Well, I unwrap this statue and she is looking at me and the beauty! This is good quality. I examined ever single crevice. She is perfect. Sort of reminds me of an old ship guardian.
