My Chiwara statues were larger than I expected and the price couldn't be beat! Plus the service was so fast.

These are cute, but are coated with thick brown paint--not what I was expecting. If you are working on a chi-wara theme-as I am-they could work. I am thinking about striping them and staining a more authentic black-brown. they are a very nice size and have lots of character--except for the paint.
