This is a resin skeleton model, a skeleton stand. It comes with a dedicated base for display. We also displayed it standing as an object in our store, as shown in the photo. I am selling it because I am taking it down due to redecoration. The vertical dimension is 48 cm, and the joints are screwed together. The 6th photo shows how it will be packaged for shipping. The parts for the stand are stored on the back of the packaging (7th photo). It was in the store for 6 months after purchase, but there are no scratches or signs of use.
