Condition
This sculpture is in very good condition. It is slightly dirty overall from airborne dust and dirt, primarily on the top surfaces. There are a few scattered very small dark brown accretions located in the white areas as follows: the bottom of the right proper eye, in the hat between the top two red bands and in the face above the red lips.
The gray base has some minor losses, with some retouching, to the edges, as well as some scuffs, primarily in front of the proper right foot and in the center toward the back edge.
