Condition

Very attractive black-blue patina, the recessive areas are more blue than they appear in the catalogue illustration. There is a build-up of surface dirt, notably in the crevices. A close inspection reveals some light wear to the patina on the figure's shoulders and the back of the neck. This work is in very good condition.
