Nice little addition to you tabletop or bookshelf.
I liked the size and shape of the sculpture. It is small but makes a statement when stacked on top of a few books. I love it!

Nice Addition to My Bookshelf
After Christmas my bookshelves were looking a little blah. Wanted something a little different so I thought I would try a statue. This is very nice. Looks like the picture. It's small. 6 inches. Have it sitting on top of some books. Good value for the money.

Great for decorating
Very surprised by the quality! The statue’s very sturdy and has a little weight to it. Definitely not hollow on the inside. Very cute atop some books as decor!
