A stone sculpture is a statue, which representing a person or persons, an animal or animals, an event or events or just an ideas, etc. In normal, the full-length is about 5 or 6 feet, not include the pedestal, as opposed to a bust, and at least close to life-size, or larger. Its primary concern is representational. For example, The Statue of Liberty located in NYC, NY. The base is 65 feet tall, the pedestal is 89 feet tall, and the statue itself is 151 feet and one inch to the tip of the torch, which have become historic and inspire their own historic events. In 1986, the Statue of Liberty meeting her one-hundredth anniversary, a three-day centennial celebration in her honor attracted 12 million.

Another famous equestrian statue is the one of Joan of Arc in the Place du Martroi in Orleans, France. There is an urban legend concerning a code for mounted statues, whereby the horse's hooves are supposed to indicate how the rider met his end. One hoof off the floor would indicate the rider died of wounds received in battle, or perhaps was just wounded in battle; two hooves off the floor would indicate the rider was killed in battle. An examination of the equestrian statues in most major European cities shows this is not true. If it ever was true, the practice appears to have died out in the 19th century. In many cases, a sculpture is certainly included two people, such as a Madonna and Child or a Pietà. In other contexts, the Madonna may be referred to as the Mother of Jesus. These images are central icons of Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodox Christianity where Mary remains a central artistic topic. A small statue, usually small enough to be picked up, is called a statuette or Figurine. Many statues are built on commission to commemorate a historical event, or the life of an influential person. Nowadays, many statues are intended as public art, exhibited outdoors or in public buildings for the c of passers-by, or for the decoration of beauty building.

More and more homeowners would like to make their garden not only closer to the nature, but also filled with the artistic feel so that to improve the value of their garden, as well as their home. So the garden sculpture, such as the animal sculpture, the mushroom stone , Obelisk Statue and so on are used to ornament their garden, but there are also other problems appearing after choosing the statues.

If so, you may be interested in the following questions and answers. Such as where will you place the statue? Is this piece going to be the focal point of a courtyard or scattered along a path? Is your garden pocket-sized or a grand estate? The amount of space that you allocate for your statue should help you decide which size garden statue to buy and the location that you intend to have your statue will help you decide which style as well. If you’re looking to decorate a lawn, consider some oversized garden spheres. Decorative trellises would complement a field of flowers nicely. For a more formal courtyard or parterre, perhaps a one-of-a-kind sculpture or ornament.

How do I care for my statues? Depending on the material you select for your garden sculpture, there should be no real maintenance at all. These pieces are designed to withstand outside conditions, and the materials reflect that. For the most part, a high pressure wash with some mild soap is all that is necessary in order to cleanse the statue of dirt or other build up that may accumulate.
