I purchased this Eagle to act as the centre piece for my late Wifes' Ashes that I had placed under a stone circular patio in the back garden. It has been in situ now since 26/08/15 and looks and feels solid, weighing 19.8Kg, and has weathered well despite the weather being typically British. It arrived on the due date by courier who unpacked it to allow an inspection on delivery. Under other circumstances, I would have kept this Eagle indoors as a centre piece for my dining table it looks that good but I am sure that my late Wife will appreciate it watching over her as she rests in the garden.
