​Condition Description
​(It is important to be specific here to avoid returns; based on the photos, here is a professional summary):
​"This piece is in excellent vintage condition. As is typical with large, solid wood carvings from this era, there is some minor wear and tear visible, mostly on the base area where the paint is a bit worn. it could benefit from a newly painted base which is just a simple black block... I have had it on display just as it is since this is not due to structural flaws but rather a testament to its age and authentic solid-wood construction.

No major chips or repairs noted. Please review all photos for a detailed look at the wood grain and condition." See less
