I know I know...too glossy! It hurts my eyes! Well in this case that's the way I wanted it. This is a statue, the figs don't move because I superglued all the joints in place, so I wanted them to shine. In fact this statue can be hung on a wall or just placed on a shelf. I call them the first people, since they are native americans. Not based on anything that I have ever seen, I just wanted something original to hang on my wall. Hope ya like it!
