Japanse blauwe reigers dierentuinsculpturen - set van 2

These herons are taller than I expected and the hand-painted feather details look surprisingly realistic from a few feet away. They've been standing in my flower bed through two rainstorms and the metal hasn't rusted or faded at all.

The layered metal sections catch the light differently depending on the time of day, which I didn't expect from a garden statue. They're life-size too, so they actually stand out among the daylilies instead of getting lost.

I was worried these would look cheap, but the hand-painted details on the metal really hold up close. They're life-size, so they actually read as herons from across the yard instead of tiny decorations. Two of them together make the flowerbed look intentional.
