A blue and white paper label is affixed to the side of the piece, bearing the printed text MADE IN USSR and a handwritten reference number REF 117-01-197. Dimensions: L approx. 4.25 in x H approx. 3.75 in (measured against a ruler). Condition: The figurine is in good condition with no visible chips, cracks, or signs of restoration. The original paper label is intact and remains securely attached.
