By repute removed from the Vienna stock exchange
Condition
Right hand front leg replaced and restored; fingers on right hand holding trident flaky with little finger missing; surface on left hand flaking; trident restored; other areas of surface flaking and old damages; these two lots constitute a set of 15 originally reputed from the roof of the Vienna stock exchange. Our recommendation would be a tidy up with recolouring rather than with a full restoration.
