Condition
Overall very good original condition. The patina presents with a rich russet brown coloration. With some very minor discoloration and rubbing to the patina as well as some light surface scratches throughout, consistent with age and gentle handling. With some surface dirt in the recessed areas throughout. With some minute light, scattered black spots to the top of the head. A dynamic and playful example of the artist's surrealist sculpture.
