***TINY DETAILED MINIATURE APACHE GAAN DANCER KACHINA.
NO BASE; NOT SURE IF IT ORIGINALLY HAD A BASE AS IT STANDS ON ITS ON.
THERE IS SOME DOUGH LIKE ADHESIVE ON THE BOTTOM WHICH HOLDS IT IN PLACE.
I HAVE NOT REMOVED IT, BUT IT CAN BE REMOVED. DOESN'T AFFECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE PIECE.
IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. NOTHING BROKEN OR MISSING.
***SEE PENNY FOR SIZE COMPARISON.

-Note: * I have a very large library of books on Native Americans, many out of print or rare and will be listing them as I can. I am up in age now and have no heirs interested in my art, artifact, bead and book collections. I am
relinquishing all of it, little by little. Please put me on your Favorite Sellers to Follow List. I am not a dealer and do not have a showroom--all other transactions and negotiations are handled through ebay and within ebay's policies. All sales final.
