Condition
Bronze with black patina, on rectangular stepped bronze socle. There are 2 visible pin circles on the top of the base. The foundry inscription is legible. The spear is slightly bent and was likely repaired. The patina is in nice, uniform condition and presents well; however, under strong light, there is some evidence of later treatment. Very minor light scratches consistent with age and handling.
