Condition
Structurally sound.
There is minor surface dust to the crevices and signs of oxidisation and verdigris to small areas throughout the work, most notably around the base. There is a very minor sign of grazing to the far left 'foot' of the work, only visible when viewing the work from below. There is a very fine hairline crack to the welded section of the vertical and horizontal area of the reverse. There are further very minor nicks and marks and surface matter in line with the artist's technique. This excepting the work appears to be in very good, original condition.
