Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There are scattered nicks and scratches associated with the artist's choice of medium. The smaller bird is slightly loose on the table top. There is uneven patina due to the artist's choice of medium, and rubbing to the patina on the crown of both birds. The bronze elements are married to the wooden base. The base has a few minor areas of wear and cracking along the bottom edge.
