Condition
The sculpture is in very good condition. The polished onyx displays a distinctive network of veining of various colors that is inherent in the stone. It has a translucent polished surface with no significant scratches or abrasions evident. A minor nick (1/4") in the stone was noted above the proper left elbow. Dirt can be seen trapped in some of the grains of the stone. The sculpture is structurally sound.
