Wood Giraffe Figurine Sculpture Artisan Crafted in Mexico, "My Curious Giraffe"

The giraffe's tail is braided with maguey ixtle fibers, which are somewhat coarse since they are not treated. Small parts are separated for shipping to protect from breakage.

"Poor quality control"
The little giraffe was poorly constructed and arrived without ears and horns. I was embarrassed when this gift was opened by my daughter.

"My Curious Giraffe is Personality PLUS"
This fella is almost a foot tall and every bit as mischievous in person as his pictures show him to be. He was SO WELL WRAPPED that it took a couple of minutes to find him amidst all the tissue paper and his ears and horns are packed separately in a small packet and must be assembled (a wise choice of the carver, Im sure). His long, long and slender neck and legs, coupled with the wonderful giraffe hide paint job are so cute. I am so happy with him. He just makes me smile every time I see him.
