There is also the obvious chips off the base on both large feet and minor damage to the head wear.  The very tip of the arrow is damaged but apart from these minor condition items the sculpture remains a very impressive and unusual Highland sculpture            Height 28.5inches/72cmWidth at base 11inches/28cmFREIGHT  The purchaser is to pay the cost of shipping and handling.  This item will be sent by PRIORITY  AIRMAIL and the cost to the USA will be $65US shipping to Europe is approx 20% more expensive.    INSURANCEIf required is available to most countries at a rate of $7.00US for the first $60US and a $2.00US for each additional $60US  or part thereof up to $2600US</font color=black>  PAYMENTWe PREFER DIRECT CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS. .   or PAYPAL  WE DO NOT ACCEPT FOREIGN PERSONAL CHEQUESAustralian purchasers can make a direct deposit into bank account   Place a Bid!
