Grade InfoBit rough some may say weathered outdoor varnished doorstop
Shape InfoCylindrical base with two owls kissing - and mice playing at their feet
Color InfoLight and dark weathered pyrography a little discoloration under the outdoor thickness of applied varnish
Other ImperfectionsThe base log has got a vertical split in it - which seems likely to evolve over time (slowly expand / contract in line with the seasons)
MaterialLog-in-the-round base with hybrid composite recycled building material creatures
NotesThere is a lot of detail here perhaps the most in any doorstop I have ever seen, but it is a rustic outdoor-proof doorstop and it has been weathered at some point. Really stable object because of the heavy base - probably a perfect doorstop for your country pile
ConditionGood for a decorative doorstop - not suitable for the mantlepeiece by any means - but it is a nice, robust thing without overhanging elements
Best AngleIt is pretty nice all round
Worst AngleBottom of the log is varnished but plain and a bit dirty
