The tail and head are loose parts and can be lifted off. The body has been referred to here as a delobject A, the head B and the star C. There are small drilled holes in the sculpture. There are also small drilled holes in the animal’s thaws to stick decorations in.
Damage:
The color has flaked slightly.
