Item is pre-owned with no cracks or chips, however it has quite a few chew holes as this is made of a certain type of wool or animal I believe. There is a little staining on the yarn in some places as well, but the color is still vivid & not faded. Smoke free environment. This is still a beautiful brightly colored yarn art owl with a pottery under base. Piece measures 3.5" long x 2.5" wide x 4.25" tall.
