Outdoor decorative figures

Garden sculptures are decorative three-dimensional artworks placed in outdoor spaces—yards, parks, or formal gardens.

They range from classical statues and fountains to modern abstract pieces, birdbaths, and whimsical figures like gnomes or animals.

The term encompasses both fine art installations and mass-produced ornamental pieces: The estate featured garden sculptures dating back two centuries.
