garden sculpture

Outdoor decorative figure

Garden sculpture is three-dimensional artwork designed for outdoor display in gardens, yards, or landscaped spaces.

It ranges from classical statuary and fountains to modern abstract pieces, birdbaths, and whimsical figures like gnomes.

Materials must withstand weather: stone, bronze, concrete, ceramic, or treated metal.

The garden sculpture had weathered to a soft patina over decades.
