Distinguishing Characteristics - Most Interesting About The Piece: A nice vintage figurine representing a beautiful subject to decorate your home or add to your collection.
Condition: The figurine itself is in very good condition. It is dark colored with a nice age patina throughout. It has no breaks and no repairs but has minor scratches throughout the body. The base itself is intact with no repairs but has a few small chips along the edges which are difficult to see due to its dark coloring. These do not distract from the beauty or quality of the piece. Finally, the piece is lightly soiled and dusty and would benefit from a good cleaning. A nice decorative item or a good addition to your collection.
