The figure is overall in good condition with the exception of some expected pitting and casting defaults (more visible to the rear of the figure's left shoulder, to the bottom of her robe and around the stand). A 2 cm section at the extremity of her hanging veil is chipped (showing bottom right of the figure on the illustration in the catalogue). There are a few traces of an old gold lacquer.
