It has a few scratches and some minor dings. The finish shows the wood grain and the piece looks great. The pig has a smooth finish throughout except on the bottom between the legs where you can see signs of the carving knife. there is also a line that goes all around the front left leg, which maybe a crack, but is smooth with the leg and does not represent a ridge suggesting that it is solid and stable and not a repair.
