The statue was as described but arrived broken. This was a delicate porcelain figurine with outstretched arms and fingers. It was wrapped in large bubble wrap and tightly surrounded with Styrofoam peanuts. The box was thin walled so any pressure would and did cause damage. Items like this should always be double boxed with softer wrap to allow some give. I would not buy delicate items from this seller. Fortunately, I did get a refund.
Seller is fabulous. Seller was friendly and very helpful. She answered my questions about the merchandise in which her knowledge was astounding. She made sure I was satisfied. I can't say enough nice things about this seller. I will buy from this lady in the future.
