Condition
Very good condition. This work has a beautiful copper-like patina which has been recently waxed and cleaned. There are a few tiny nicks to the surface to the top edge and the front of the base. On the left side of the reverse, near the top of the form, there are several circular fills, which were added during the casting process. Otherwise, fine.
