Condition
Overall the condition of the bronze is very good, with minor wear and dirt to the surface consistent with age. There is some rubbing to the patina at the high points, and minor flaking in several areas including the legs and the base. There is some greening to the underside of the ears. There are a few minor nicks, including one above the proper left eye.
