Condition

Très bon état général. La lance de l'amazone légèrement tordue et accidentée sur quelques milimètres au niveau du filetage. Quelques infimes rayures notamment dans le cou du cheval. La base en très bon état. Signé en facade. Le socle avec légère usure de la patine aux angles. Very good overall condition. The lance of the amazone slightly distored on a few milimeters long at the level of the hand. A few very tiny scratches in the neck of the horse. The base in good condition, signed to the front. The rectangular foot with slight wear of the patina to the angles, all consistent with age.
