Condition
Overall the condition of the bronze is very good. There is some minor wear to the surface consistent with age. There is some dryness to the patina at the tassels hanging from the saddle, some of the screws holding these are slightly bent. The wire to which the tassel at the neck of the camel has been attached has come undone at the soldering point. The riding stick is slightly loose in the hand and is bent. Part of the reign, which would have ran along the proper right side of the camel, may be missing.
