I designed each of the twelve zodiac animals and cut them out with a fret saw. They can also be used as building blocks. Made of beech wood with a urethane coating. The black base board for the zodiac animals is 4cm tall and 33cm wide. Each animal is approximately 5cm. There may be slight color differences between the image and the actual product. Thank you for your understanding. There are no smokers. We do not have any pets.
