Q: What is the difference between this standing donkey and the lying donkey from the catalog?
The posture, height, and register. The lying donkey (16x9.5xH12cm, 400g) is lying down at rest — wide and low, stable, in a relaxed position. This standing donkey (15x7xH14cm, 350g) is in an active posture — taller (H14 vs H12cm), narrower (7 vs 9.5cm), slightly lighter, dynamic and affirmative register. Same species, same gray-brown fur, same indoor/balcony use. Together, they create the most complete and natural donkey composition in the catalog.
Q: Can this donkey go in an outdoor garden on the ground?
The technical sheet mentions indoor and balcony & terrace — not the outdoor garden on the ground. Its weight (350g) would make it sensitive to wind in a very exposed position. For use in a full garden, prefer heavier sculptures from the range. This standing donkey is designed for protected surfaces: indoor, balcony, shelf.
Q: Can this sculpture stay on an exposed balcony all year round?
Yes — balcony & terrace. The polyresin is tested down to -20 °C and treated with UV protection for gray-brown tones. Its standing posture makes it slightly more sensitive to wind than a lying animal — prefer a slightly sheltered location or placed in a pot for very windy exposure.
Q: Is this a good gift for someone who loves donkeys?
A very targeted and well-received gift for this profile. The faithfully sculpted Saint Andrew's cross, the well-rendered large ears, the natural gray-brown fur — it is a sculpture that shows real care for the species, not a generic representation. For someone who truly loves donkeys, it is a gift that says "I know you" with great precision. To be given alone or accompanied by the lying donkey for a complete duo.
Q: Can we order both donkeys (standing and lying) for a complete composition?
Absolutely — it is even the most recommended composition for this range. The standing donkey + the lying donkey side by side recreate two different moments of the day of the same animal, in the same color palette and the same natural style. Two accessible sculptures, a complete narrative scene.
