Additionally, there are four holes intermittently spread along the top of the work as well. There are concentrated areas of indentations along the bottom torso’s/tails of the figures. A light accumulation of debris is present within the crevasses. The wood has been stained specifically in the “hair” of the figures. There are various nicks and scratches throughout the bodies of the figures.
