Orientation/Arrangement: The skin, face and hair of the figure are painted withunvarnished oil paint. The painted surface is very fragile as the bond between the oil paintand the fiberglass is not strong. Use extreme care in handling during installation. Also becareful when dressing boy not to snag shirt in zipper. According to the artist, the clothesshould NOT look freshly ironed or pressed, but should look neat. Deinstallation: The left armshould be detached while standing. Lift the body carefully off the stand and lay in cratesecurely. The left arm does not fit precisely into the bedding. The best way to pack it is toplace the upper arm as securely as possible, allowing the hand from the wrist down to restoutside the defined "hand" area. Place tissue in between the torso/shoulder and the detachedarm to prevent scratching.
