UNPAINTED. Ready to paint.  You are purchasing an unpainted item. Fired to cone 04 bisque. Aripine Welcome Gnome is cute and easy to paint.  It comes with holes in the tree underneath him. Also random stars and holes in the hat to allow light to pass through.  A punch hole for a clip light kit in the back of the piece.  Small irregularities are common with hand made items and do not affect use.
