Q: What is the color of this donkey ?
The characteristic gray-brown coat of the common domestic donkey — slate gray slightly tinged with brown on the back, lighter belly, faithfully sculpted Saint Andrew's cross (dark cruciform mark on the back and shoulders). The areas around the muzzle and eyes are in lighter natural tones. This is the most universally recognized coat of the domestic donkey.
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 polyresin is technically frost-resistant (-20 °C), but its recommended use is indoors and on protected surfaces. Its weight (400g) would also make it vulnerable to wind in a very exposed position. For use in a full garden, prefer heavier sculptures from the farm animals range.
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 the gray-brown tones. Its weight (400g) and its lying posture (wide footprint) ensure good stability on a balcony ledge. In case of very strong winds, a slightly sheltered location or in a pot is preferable.
Q: Is this a good gift for someone who loves donkeys or country life?
A very targeted and highly appreciated gift for this profile. The donkey is an animal that people either love deeply or not at all — and those who love it really do. Its hand-painted polyresin sculpture with the faithfully reproduced Saint Andrew's cross clearly says "I know you love donkeys" with a lot of precision and affection.
Q: Can we order multiple lying donkeys for a composition or a group gift?
Yes — the packaging (6-18 pieces) allows for an order in multiple units. Two or three lying donkeys placed in different spots on a shelf or in a composition create a natural and very charming miniature farm scene.
