Condition
In overall very good condition and presentation. The figure has been extensively cleaned, and there are some traces of surface dirt and residue that have accumulated in recent years due to the general age and handling of the figure. Her raised pinky on her right hand has been previously detached, but then professionally restored. There is a repaired crack to the garland at her right side, about 2 inches from where the garland joins her torso, this may however be caused by the carving of the object. There is a 2 inch patch at the top of the pedestal that accompanies the figure. Over-painting to the backside of the base suggests some sort of restoration has occurred, however all parts appear intact.
