The male figure includes a carved beard and textured hair pattern, while the female figure features traditional styled hair and a carved chin accent. Both pieces have flat, flush-cut bottoms and back borders engineered to sit upright against books. Each bookend measures 8 inches high, 3.25 inches wide, and 2.5 inches deep.
