Condition
Very good condition. Some rubbing visible underneath; a small hole drilled in center underneath (probably to attach to base); one tiny blemish in lower center of figure. There are some irregularites in the bronze under figure's arm, near the hole in figure's leg and in patina around bottom of figure as well as some small scattered pin-dot pits. All of these irregularities appear to be inherent to the bronze.
