"Giraffe sculpture"
A lot different than photo. I understand wood sculptures can differ because that is the nature of wood, but my sculpture is not smooth like the picture shows. Almost reminds me of a carnival prize. Carving is rough and horns are not smooth at all. Not worth the price. Disappointed.
