Description:  It is uncommon so see a diminutive male and female squatting couple of this scale.  The male on the right is slightly smaller than the female.  They have inset shell eyes and are carved from a dense hardwood.  They have not been waxed or varnished as is often my experience with these figures.   In good condition with some slight loss to the nose of the male figure.  Spirit house sold separately.
