It's much better than the pic. The finish is more gold than the pic and the eyes are the same as the body. Makes it look mystical. The collar is really neat, has the wings and scarab at the front. It's very lightweight and that's the drawback. I will have to put a guy wire on it because it's going up on a loft right on the edge and two of my cats get up there. It's almost 30 inches. Cool kitty!
