Condition
Overall in very good original condition. This sheep has been outside and shows minor surface residue to the concrete elements of the body, visible in the catalogue illustration. The bronze elements have acquired a beautiful patina. The concrete base was added by the present owners for their outdoor installation, and can likely be removed. The concrete base with minor losses at the corners, likely caused from installation and de-installation. Minor discoloration and residue to the top surface of the base and some minor moss still present on the base from prior installation.
