Vintage Victorian lady figurine wearing a green dress with lace and matching hat. Gold detailing and a glossy finish make this an eye-catching piece. The left hand does have one missing finger and minor chips on the tips of others. Really not noticeable unless you are looking very closely, as it is such small detail. A single sticker on the bottom simply reads ?Japan.? We very much appreciate you taking the time to view our items. Please let us know if you have any questions before making your purchase. We look forward to doing business with you. In regards to shipping, my rule is to pack it like I would like to receive it myself. I typically use USPS for most items, but I prefer to use FedEx (ground/home) for fragile items, as I have had the post office break fragile items from time to time.
