The porcelain figurine offered here is quite large heavy (about 4 pounds) for a statute this size. It is a nice solid piece that is about 13 inches high and 7 inches wide. The facial features are nicely detailed. They are very good condition. However, there are three minor broken areas with missing pieces. The top portion of the staff is broken and missing.
