Condition
Overall very good condition. The patina presents with scattered light surface scratches and instances of light wear consistent with age and gentle use. The bronze elements with some scattered circular areas of light oxidation mostly concentrated to the tip of two aloe spikes. With a few minute scattered paint stains. The alabaster elements appear to have been replaced at a later stage and are in very good condition overall with a few minor chips at the tips of some elements. Some areas within the alabaster elements have become white and opaque due to heat from the light bulbs, as is typical with this material, partially visible in the catalogue illustration.
