The carved head material is unknown. I personally think it is a resin piece, not wood. The buyer is buying the head as-is, unknowning if it's wood or resin? The inlay shell work is all present and not damaged or repaired. The head measures approximately 7" to the top of its head. It measures approximately 5" from the smaller lower head that is in it hands to the back of its head, and approximately 2 1/2" at the widest part, which is ears. Condition is used. Please see pics
