29-Inch Concrete Turtle Garden Statue

A sculptural accent for garden and outdoor displays.

29-Inch Concrete Turtle Garden Statue

• TURTLE GARDEN STATUE
• Two and a Half Feet, Nose to Tail
• Twenty nine and a half inches long, which is close to life size for a giant tortoise and considerably larger than the figurines this category usually offers.
• The posture is resting rather than walking. Legs folded under, head low and forward, shell settled on the ground. It looks like something that has been in that spot for a while and is in no hurry to move.
• Dark gray throughout with the shell segments cut deep enough to hold shadow. No paint, no color, no glossy finish. It reads as stone rather than as a garden ornament.
• 29.5 in. Length
• 11.8 in. Height
• Concrete Dark Gray
• Resting Low Posture
• What Makes This Piece Different
• Length rather than height, which is unusual and useful. Almost every garden statue is vertical, which means it stands in front of things. A piece that is two and a half feet long and under a foot high sits along a path edge, at the front of a border, or beside a step without blocking anything behind it. If you have wanted a substantial statue but nowhere tall to put one, this is the shape that solves it.
• Life size for the species. At 29.5 inches this is close to a real giant tortoise rather than a scaled down figurine. The difference is immediately obvious next to the small ornaments this category usually offers.
• A resting posture, not a walking one. Legs folded, head low, shell on the ground. It reads as settled rather than as posed, which is what keeps it from looking like a display piece.
