This job came in yesterday - the hard part is done. Was broken in 5 pieces - forgot to take a before photo. Epoxied it back together and inserted steel pins cut into the back for added strength -
cast masonry art work ( wine goddess) - weighs over 100 lbs or so - I had a beer while I was gluing it fortunately no uneven joints :)

Where would someone put that? Is it hung on the wall?
There is a wire in the back for wall hanging but I wouldn't trust the wire alone. Better to attach a ledger hitting the studs and resting the base of the plaque on the ledger then measure for the wall hook using the combination of both. I think this item is better suited for the garden preferably in front of the grape vines resting on the floor -

I filled the 5 cracks with plaster and slightly overfilled feathering out the patch. Before the plaster dried I took a hand full of nails held together points down and made texture in the almost dry plaster. Sprayed flat lacquer on the dry plaster and just before the lacquer dried I pounced on dry rotten stone which seem like a nice gray color to simulate age and blend in the repair.
