Condition

Colours: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration. (The catalogue illustration does not included the varnished wooden base which accompanies the work. ) Condition: The work is in very good condition. There are indentations throughout the bronze which are intrinsic to the cast. There is a small patch where the black patina to the reverse of the triangular head has been scraped. A further small circular rub mark is visible to the left of the square head figure's torso.
