----------------------------------------------------

BRAND / MAKER💞😸😃: Unsigned by unknown Balinese/Indonesian Wood Craftsman Artisan

COLORS & Materials🌳🐮🥛: Rich Medium Honey Brown with a nice sheen, Indonesian light wood, like fruitwood, boxwood.

DIMENSIONS📏🤏🏽: 18" Tall x 8" at widest; 5lbs

AGE 👵🏽🐣💃🏽: Guesstimate VINTAGE Mid-century 20th c. 1950s-70s

CONDITION 🦋🌟: VINTAGE USED: Absolutely lovely, wood carving of Sea Goddess, with a superficial scraping of stain on left side of her face and hair as pictured in photos. Price reflects -- I think if the stain were matched, a fine paint brush would make it all the same tone again. Though, I rather liked the imperfection. There are no cracks or dents, just expected minor scratches from time passing.Quite good for age!! I tried to reflect its good condition in the photos and video. No major damage (NO breaks, cracks, missing parts), a few small time-related very fine, barely able to see dimples, hazy clear spots, barely there scritches/scrapes, but nothing that deters from its timeless elegance and beauty. (all vintage and antique items are selected for their above-average condition for their age

💕VINTAGE or ANTIQUE CONDITION: Almost everything listed is from the 20th century or earlier. This means any scratches, discolorations, or teeny bits missing --are ALL due to age and time on this Earth. Only pieces that have been loved and well cared for are listed!! But time does have a way of happening, and deterioration may occur. UNLESS kept in a china cabinet like many of my pieces.

🗝️👴👵🏼🧓🏿DEFINITIONS: Vintage 20-99 yrs old, Vin'tique (80-99 yrs old), and Antique (100++ yrs old) AND Retro (within last 20-50 years & reproduction of a much older original item) Each of these Items may be pristine, but are likely to show some reflection of their age and amount of day to day use/storage stuff, including tiny dings, scritches, fading, crazing, etc... I will always try to note these things and use the photos to help you see exactly what you will be receiving upon purchase.

😉AGE & RESELL VALUE: These are often my BEST guesstimate according to online research for expert information (those in the KNOW), or the story shared by the owner, or dated packaging. I am NOT a trained expert, simply an experienced vin'tique purchaser, AND a fairly thorough researcher thanks to my THREE Dissertations. There are so many well-intentioned humans accidentally copying or 'lightly embellishing' details. 💰💵$$VALUE: We research the value using a blend of Competitor Google Shopping Prices, Replacements LTD, Worthpoint, and knowledgeable experts to help ascertain the Reseller Value of each item in the store... I also compare it to other sellers of similar items and adjust the cost according to the market value. Please let us know if something seems particularly askew or inaccurate and we will review the information and change it accordingly.

🙄FAKE'AROOS PLEASE Do YOUR research too -- keywords such as Imari, Roccoco, Vintage, Antique, etc...have definitions that can help you weed through some of the inaccuracies yourself. I do MY best -- always feel free to question ME and any seller where they discovered or how they know the details. Super savvy 'fakers' have existed for hundreds of years!! Of course, Some of the fakes are NOW super old antiques in themselves - haha - REALLY!

🤩🥰😘😍LOVE IT!! Once it is all said and done, buy it because you LIKE /LOVE/Want it >> 😍😘VALUE, as well as BEAUTY, is truly in the eyes and heart of the beholder.<<

🥰🤩🙋‍♀️🤔QUESTIONS: Please message Me and the Sharing the Joy TEAM if you have questions or need more photos prior to investing in your new item of JOY, during the process or after you have received the item. We will do our best to accommodate your needs as quickly as possible.

📸IMAGES: Please review images, and ask for more if you need them before making a decision. I tried to show all the important aspects of the item...but my camera skills could use a wee bit of improvement, haha. I am learning with every photo or video captured!! Again, colors are likely to be slightly different depending on your viewing screen and the lighting in the area photographed, but I try to get the closest that my camera and screens show me.

📽️📺📸VIDEOS: I am still learning how to make quality listing videos (20-seconds BRIEF, 1:1 square & useful to the viewer!!). Hahah -- bear with me... I am getting there!! I hope I don't make you too dizzy. ALWAYS feel free to ask for more photos, or another attempt at the video focused on something you want to see!!

✨💖SPARKLY CLEAN: All items are carefully, lightly cleaned with Murphy's oil soap, vinegar, and water, or environmentally friendly methods as appropriate to materials. BUT 🐷I will leave the rusty and dusty, or the tarnished metal patina on items that I know buyers usually LIKE / PREFER this way.

😇👼🏽INTEGRITY is paramount in our minds, hearts, and business!

🛳️📦🗳️SHIPPING & PACKAGING: Everything is packaged and shipped with great attention to arriving safely, attractively and with a small, sweet JOYfull gratitude gift. I try to recycle high-quality boxes and packaging materials as a big HUG to the Mama EARTH! I allow EBAY/ETSY to calculate the cost of shipping and only add a handling fee for other countries as it takes a bit more effort. Anything fragile, breakable, or BIG/AWKWARD/HEAVY, has additional attention put into wrapping, cushioning, and boxing without any shakity shake shake movement. It is a heart-centered PROCESS!!

🎁🧧🗃️Gift Wrapping: IF you let me know that the item is being shipped as a gift, I will wrap it and add a little message for you -- for FREE -- it is something FUN for me. I love gifts,wrapping gifts, and RECEIVING GIFTS - ha!!
