Condition
Condition:
This work has been well cast and the bronze is of some weight. It is in two parts. The surface is a good colour and Wunderlich has used verdigris on the piece to great effect. The headdress and masks on the base have this surface treatment which give these details definition. There are very minor scratches which are hard for the naked eye to detect. The surface and colour are better than the catalogue image suggests.
