·

·
Age is vintage 60s/70s
·
Measures approximately 13”H; 8” wide from arm to arm; base is approximately 4.75” diameter.

Beautifully made from wood with feather and leather accents.  It does have flaws, sadly.  The hands are missing the rattle and squash blossom accents.  There is a fur piece under the feet that I presume detached from the back of the figure.  It shows dust from storage; was in a glass showcase.
Shipping to US locations via USPS Ground Advantage; no international shipping, sorry.  Returns accepted.  Please email with any issues so that I can make it right for you.  Will combine shipping whenever possible and practical.
