Nearly life size, it has a long upright neck and slightly tilted head that give the pose a naturalistic feel, a rounded body with softly modeled features, and a simple circular base where the legs are only softly suggested. Years of outdoor exposure have given the surface a beautifully mottled patina, with moss, lichen and mineral deposits creating subtle variations of gray, green and ochre across the concrete, while a few small losses only add to its garden charm. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePlaced near a garden path or entrance, it would bring a gentle note of farmhouse character while recalling the goose’s long association with vigilance and watchfulness, giving the figure a subtle symbolic role as a guardian of the home. Here, however, the effect remains playful and welcoming, with the natural patina and naïve modeling lending it a quiet, storybook quality, as though it had watched over the garden for decades. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 25½\" high x 22\" long x 11¾\" wide \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 65cm high x 56cm long x 30cm wide\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54501450613074,"sku":"25744","price":1695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC06152-Modifier.jpg?v=1788343016","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/lifesize-french-concrete-garden-goose-with-lichen-patina-251-2","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
