Are you going to paint or refinish her? Do you know what she looked like out of the box? I have a Witco wahine panel I want to retouch, but am worried about screwing it up. Congrats! KG No, I don't plan on doing a thing to her, all my Witco get is a light dusting with furniture polish. Like Sven said, she is in original condition. The mask you can see part of in the pics is painted as well as the two spears it came with. These originally came painted and are the only things in my collection that are. I have a turtle footstool that I've heard is sometimes painted but mine is not. I'm not sure what kind of paint you would use to touch up your piece but the paint on my pieces is flat and looks old. Good luck
