Condition
Structurally sound.
There is very minor surface dirt and dust to the crevices, and signs of oxidisation to minor areas throughout the body of the work, most notably towards and on the base. The base and underside with a few spots of verdigris. There are further very minor surface marks and matter in line with the artist's technique. This excepting the work appears to be in very good, original condition.
