Condition
The sculpture appears sound. There are a couple of minor nicks to the back edge of the work, only visible upon close inspection. There is some very slight rubbing to the protruding edges of the work. There is some very light surface dirt and traces casting residue, most apparent in the pitted areas of the work. There are one or two spots of very minor oxidisation. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in very good overall condition.
The work is freestanding.
