Condition
The colours of the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate except for the top part of the basis which is less gold in the original work. The basis has some light oxydation consistent with the date of execution of the work. As visible in the catalogue illustration the wire between the basis and the "signal" is slightly curved by the weight of the signal. As visible in the catalogue illustratio, the signal in itself present some light dents and defaults.
