Condition

in good condition, generally; several scattered cracks: two vertical cracks, about 2 in. each on his face--one on his forehead, the other above his left eye, another crack, about 3 in. long in the crevice between his two arms; several very thin, shallow cracks (vertical) along the bottom edge of the sculpture; aside from this, a few scattered nicks, scratches and a bit of wear to his nose--don't look serious or detract from the general aesthetic appearance of the work
