Condition
Overall in very good condition. With scattered surface dirt to the base and minor discoloration of the brass which is consistent with age. The base with a few light isolated discolorations, one liquid stain measuring 1/8 inch in diameter and another which appears to have been from an adhesive label, which do not detract from the overall presence of the piece. A few of the rods with minor bending, as seen in the catalogue illustration, however these are very minor. A very nice medium-scaled sound sculpture with a large number of rods.
