Beautiful wooden sculpture in good condition. The right, light blue arm is broken off and has been expertly restored. Overall, there are isolated chips in the wood due to the material and manufacturing process, with occasional tiny areas of color loss. There are isolated, tiny to small areas of wear and paint flaking on the upper edge and around the edges, slightly more pronounced in the center left and lower left.
