Condition
Overall very good original condition. Presently on one axis the top third of the sculpture with a slight lean. Some of the square decorative panels are also slightly askew which appears original to the design and not a result of the condition. The base of the sculpture presents slightly more green in tone and with some discoloration and surface dirt. A beautiful sculptural form.
