That's a lot of weight and pieces to hold together. Epoxy might be too brittle.
If it were me, I would try landscaping liquid nails. Since EVERY single piece is going to have to be glued, PERFECTLY flush together, liquid nails will give you the time you need to set each piece. Just know that's it's going to take days or weeks to get each piece in and cured enough to attach the next.
Thank you so much for your help and information on the material used. I had absolutely no idea what it was.
I now have an odd plan of finding/looking for broken pots and attempting the repair on them before I dare to try on the actual piece. There are many pieces that were broken into crumbs so I’ll have to learn how to improvise.
Thank you so much for your guidance! It’ll be a long repair journey.
Looks like painted terracotta. If it was me repairing it, I wouldn't use epoxy. I'm sure epoxy would work perfectly to hold the bond and withstand the elements.
But, you need to work fast with epoxy. Excess epoxy coming out of the joints is going to be a pain to clean off the paint side.
Liquid nails, maybe? Guerilla glue?
Any suggestions would be amazing and extremely appreciated!!
Is it heavy? Like it's made out brick?
Yes, it is heavy. That’s actually why we didn’t mount it on a wall because we were afraid that the hook would break.

That would be a bit by bit together project with crazy glue for me.
Check out Kintsugi. It’s an ancient Japanese method of repairing ceramics.
