Each figurine is individually hand-sculpted in a soft, ceramic clay using your pet's photographs as the model. The piece is fired to hardness and cooled. Using your pet's photographs for reference, the sculpture is then hand-painted with acrylic paints. The piece is mounted on a two-tiered wooden base (available in cherry, oak or walnut) with a brass inscription plate (up to 7 words). The custom statue is about 8 1/2" long and 4 1/2" tall and the base measures 9" X 12". We also offer a Custom Statue on an Urn for a pet who has passed away and has been cremated. The statue is about 8" long and 3 1/2" tall. It is mounted on a handsome wooden urn (in cherry, oak or walnut) which will hold the pet's ashes. A brass plate bearing your inscription (up to 7 words) is mounted on the front of the urn.
