Condition
Impressive and well modelled. The surface gilding is not as shiny as it appears in the catalogue illustration. There is a lot of tarnishing consistent from with the age of this piece. The Lyre stings are mis-shapen. There are some marks and scratches. There is a protruding rivet at the back on her arm. A very decorative piece.
