Concrete statue of an Italian chef holding a pizza with "a nice Chianti" at his feet. Holding a pizza he is wearing a chef's hat and apron. Nice details to notice is that he has a small mustache, dimples, and well rendered hands holding the pizza up. Another nice feature is some wear from the elements on the top of of his hat and pizza. Over time a smooth coat of cement has worn off. Definitely, makes for a more interesting outdoor garden or patio statue...
