Condition
The sculpture is sound with an attractive brown patina. There is some minor wear to the most protruding elements and a few scattered surface scratches, consistent with age and handling. There are a few dots of verdigris along the extreme edges. There is a light build-up of dust in the crevices. There are strips of adhesive foam, partially sticked-out, along the extreme edges on the reverse of the sculpture. This work is in overall very good condition.
