This couple are very attractive with their draped clothing , attractive profiles and sold curly hair.

They are heavy enough to hold books up or can be used as figures against a wall. They have flat backs so they can stand alone in some circumstances. The chalkware has a black finish with a gold band on the pedestal with a grey wash providing highlighting for the details. They are 10 inches in height and are 4.5 inches wide and 3.5 inches wide.
