Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the illustration fails to fully convey the three-dimensionality of the original.
Condition:
There is oxidisation to the metal elements in places throughout with associated flaking and further discolouration to the various elements as a result of its external installation placement, with overall wear as a result of this. There are deposits of rust and associated corrosion as a result of the oxidisation. There are a few light media accretions and rub marks in places. Some surface dirt has accumulated in the recessed areas. There are further small spots of media accretion scattered throughout.
