Some carvings are so subtle in their coloration that it is almost impossible to be 100% accurate in photographing them. This is one of those carvings. We can assure you, however, the carving is very well done. This photo is as faithful to the actual color as we could get with our software. If you order it and you believe it does not present in the colors you thought you would be getting, we will refund your purchase price. Just let us know you are returning it so we will be looking for it in the mail.
