It measures 16.5cm (6 1/2") long, 10.2cm (4") high and 7cm (2 3/4") deep.

Condition is very good. There has been a very good quality repair to the base of the tail where it has been reattached. Some of the leaves on the tree trunk at the back have been broken and the raw edges have been touched up and the colour match and tone is perfect. There has been a tiny frit to the front edge of his left ear. No other damage, repair or restoration and very minor handling wear.
