This little mythological scene is lovely. Perfectly rendered and ready to go on a lapel or neckline. It came well packaged and packed for mailing and promptly went into hiding possibly as a cat hockey puck. Even after that vigorous use it was still in pristine condition! This seller did a wonderful job of packing and mailing it! I am really pleased.
