6.22.24-In my opinion regarding LOT: 3286-The largest figure is the only one that is signed, as described is titled brown ogre and signed SZ?, the other two figures are unsigned, the figure with watermelon has possible repairs to turtles neck and tail (however this also may be how it was constructed, I am unsure), as well as some loose elements, the largest figure has wear and loss to feathers and some elements as pictured, the smallest one is unsigned, all exhibit varying degrees of paint loss, small losses and wear
