Condition

Colour: The colours is the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the three dimensionality inherent in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is some extremely light wear to the surface patina at a few of the protruding points to the figures. There is evidence of light oxidisation to the inner crevasses between the two figures.
