Some chips found when I was inspecting the sculpture. Also a chip on the corner of the base. The last 2 photos shows the major ones on the bird. It you see any white in the photos its a small chip....Its a large piece. Definitely not for your shelf. It will need to be front and center on a table for all to see. Highly detailed. They even painted shadows in places. Its a resin piece but folks will be guessing and wondering. Stands 20" high and sturdy. Will be shipped properly.
