Lucas: The cow's ear on the Lucas figure has a slight chip (DIA 1/8") that is hardly noticeable. Matheus: There are two chips (DIA 1/8") on the Matheus figure: one on the halo and one on the index finger resting on the cherub's head. Marcus: There are two small losses (approx. W 1/5") to the lower right edge of the figure. Johannes: No chips were observed. Only the loss of the halo on Johannes. There are some natural variations to the glaze and terracotta, as to be expected. CP
