Do you think maybe a SEALANT ---- sprayed or painted-on ---- might make it more protected ? ............. Thanks very much. .............. It's like this:

Assuming this is outside.
Scrub resin art with soap and water before applying the polyurethane. Let it dry completely before applying the first coat. Be sure to get the poly into all the nooks and crannies! Once it’s dry, apply a second coat. Let it cure for about 24 hours before placing it in the garden.

RustOleum Never Wet might be the way to go. It's a spray sealant to protect from elements.
I would use a spray polyurethane or acrylic sealant. Is it inside or out?
Never did find out if this was inside or outside. :(
