Condition

Colours: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality tends to matt black in the original. Condition: The sculpture is in good condition. Very slight traces of use and rust are visible on the metal. The original standard rubber belt comes separately with the sculpture but isn't anymore usable and would need to be replaced. The electrical mechanism of the engine works perfectly.
