This is a lighthouse that pays tribute and symbolizes our determinination to promote freedom. It's very patriotic and reminds us of the sacrifices of those who didn't survive this event, as well as those who helped others during and after the event. This will be a very desirable lighthouse figurine for many. And did you know that the Statue of Liberty is a lilghthouse? I didn't realize it before. This figurine is not like any other, and it has a large wrap-around photograph of the harbor and Lady Liberty that is quite moving. The details are fabulous, as we know we can expect out of any product ot Thomas Kinkade's business. This is a very unusual and rare lighthouse figureine. This is a new item and has no scratches, dents, of issues witih the painting. This lighthouse operates by battery or electricall cord, not provided. Buyer pays for shipping. Thanks for looking!
