This is a one-of-a-kind original whimsical colorful ceramic Sugar Skull (or calavera) ceramic Garden Totem. It stands a whopping 37½" tall.

• The skull on top alone is 11" tall x 6" wide.

• The whimsical bright red heart has  a 12½" wingspan.

• And the anchor cactus has an additional arm and 2 long white flower branches, making it 8½" & 12" Wide x 12" tall.

• The cactus has metal carpet tacks fired into the clay, they are wicked sharp!

These original ceramic Totems are hand-built from low-fire clay using slab construction. They are fired to a bisque temperature, then glazed and fired again to a colorful waterproof finish that will not fade in full direct sunlight.   For the most part they are weatherproof, with the exception of hail, freezing temps & heavy snow. **I would recommend bringing them inside for inclimate seasons relative to your area or indoor/covered deck installation.   They are sold as a set of pieces that you can display in a variety of settings. Center rod, pots and filler are not included, available at most home improvement or hardware stores. Outdoor installation -- drive a section re-bar or tomato stake Deep into the ground and stack the pieces (you can stack them the way that I have in the photo or make your own arrangement)   Indoor (or patio) installation --  use a tomato stake (rubber coated hollow aluminum tomato stake, easily obtained from any garden center or home improvement store) plant it into a deep pot filled with sand or heavy rocks.

With this set up, it's all about the depth & weight so that your totem doesn't tip over (for the taller totems use a concrete base or welded rebar) ** I would not exceed 34" without a taller/wider pot
