Condition
In very good condition with a rich, deep reddish brown patina. There is some variation and wear to the patina at the figure's midsection, which has some golden tones in that area both front and back. There are a few minor nicks and light wear to the patina, consistent with age and handling. This work has a very nice surface and appears to have been recently waxed. Otherwise is very good condition.
