Condition
Good overall condition. The patinas on the sheeps are slightly different : one is light brown, the other dark brown. Both presents with some light wear and a few instances of light oxidation. The patina of the lighter sheep (39/250) presents with some slighty more significant wear on the feet with a few more oxidation stains. The epoxy stone is in excellent overall condition and presents with some irregularities inherent to the making.
