Should a sculpture be mounted or glued to a base or can it just sit on top of it if the sculpture is stable?

If the sculpture is very valuable and could break in an earthquake (if you live in earthquake country, or if a child could knock it over, that is!), I would say, mount it - but if it is not that valuable and/or if there is little chance of breakage due to earthquake or a child knocking it down, mounting shouldn't be necessary? I think it depends mostly on those three particulars.

It depends entirely on how fragile the sculpture is or the surface it would land on if it fell. A 7 foot 400lb stone sculpture might not get damaged if it fell over, but might damage things that it hit. Conversely a delicate sculpture might get broken if it just tipped over. You decide.
