* Damages: This delicate vintage piece has two missing fingers—one broken off on the left hand and one missing on the right hand. Both hands are behind his back. The fingers are very small and thin and hard to tell they are missing at a glance. Please see macro detail photos for a closer look.
* General Wear: Normal minor shelf wear on the bottom base edge and age-appropriate glaze characteristics consistent with hand-painted 1960s pottery.
* No other major chips, cracks, or repairs detected. Sold strictly AS-IS due to the finger damage.
