Condition
Overall the condition of the bronze is very good with minor dirt and wear to the surface consistent with age. There are a number of very slightly visible stable casting joints, including at the top of each tail. There is a very small lacuna under the lioness' proper right back leg. There are a few minor areas of greening, including to the crevices. The lion's chest (visible from underneath) appears to be unpatinated.
