Care:

• For detailed or intricate areas, a small paintbrush works well.
• Avoid water, harsh chemicals, or abrasive cleaners—they can damage the paint or wood.
• If needed, lightly wipe with a barely damp cloth, then dry immediately.
• Keep out of direct sunlight to prevent fading of painted surfaces.
• Avoid placing near heat sources to prevent drying, cracking, or warping of the wood.
• Display in a dry environment; excessive humidity can cause wood to swell or paint to peel.
• Handle by sturdy parts, avoiding thin or delicate areas like limbs, tails, or protrusions.
• Avoid dropping or bumping the sculptures.
