Each is approximately 25cm tall, a size that gives a strong presence. While there are cracks and changes in color/deterioration due to aging, there is no critical damage. However, there is a hole in the hand of the Ebisu statue where a fishing rod is believed to have been attached (photo 9, including surrounding cracks). The fishing rod is currently missing. Please understand this as part of the aging process of an old wood carving.
