Condition

Good overall condition. The patinated bronze presents with some instances of wear to the patina, mostlty concentrated along the edges and protrudring elements, consistent with age and gentle use and partially visible on the catalogue illustration. There are a few extremely rare traces of light oxidation. The head presents with some minor traces of dried adhesive residue within the wool surrounding the face, inherent to the making, and with some of the wool very gently pulling away from the bronze face, consistent with age and gentle use. The wool is original and has been recently cleaned in order to retrieve its original aspect.
