Condition

This sculpture is very good condition. Upon very close inspection, there are a few very tiny scattered pinpoints of white which are inherent anomalies associated with the material and the process of the black surface. On the back left foot (as illustrated) and scattered on the side, there are a few faint areas of soiling in a striated, folded pattern that appear to be related to previous packing and are evident in raking light.
