Condition
The sculpture is in very good condition. The textured surface displays a mottled dark brown patina. Tiny spots of corrosion products and blanched wax can be seen in the recesses of the textured surface and along the bottom edge. Very minor patina loss was noted on the figure's back to the left of the artist's signature. The sculpture is clean and displays a fresh protective wax coating. The sculpture appears structurally sound with no significant scratches or damage to the surface
