Excellent, gently used condition with no flaws. The elephant does have a tail! My picture doesn't show the tail, due to the background covering it up Holztiger figures have been an heirloom quality, wooden toy staple for many years. Their pieces are made in Europe with the highest quality standards and play value. Each figure is handcrafted out of maple and beech wood and then painted with non toxic watercolor paints and sealed. They are certainly known for their distinguished style, allowing the natural wood grain to shine in their craftsmanship. Any little one will let their imagination run wild with Holztiger.
