Description
- Saccomazzone players
- brass, on a wood and red velvet base
- After a model by Orazio Mochi (1571-1625)
Condition
Overall the condition of the brass is very good. There is some minor wear consistent with age. The group sits fairly loose on its base becuase the trunk is not fixed and the pin at the proper right foot of the player on the left is broken. The sacci have both been replaced, one is loose.
The velvet on the base is worn and ripped at the underside.
