Care of your Valuable Art piece:
1. The beauty of your art piece will best be maintained by periodically gently removing dust with a very soft brush on a vacuum cleaner, and perhaps occasionally rejuvenating the finish with a very light coat of Howard Butcher Block (a tasteless and odorless mix of food grade mineral oil & natural waxes).
2. The wood for this sculpture was cured until it reached a moisture content similar to most homes. In some pieces, natural cracks have been filled and others have been incorporated into the sculpture's design. Occasionally, over time, more may form because additional drying can occur since residential and office humidity levels vary considerably.
3. Your art piece should NOT be displayed in direct sunlight (no wood likes direct sun) because strong light will fade its rich colors.
4. Display this treasure where it will be protected from chemicals and moisture.
