Condition
This sculpture is in very good condition. No significant losses, abrasions or scratches are evident on the surface. Faint foundry seams can be seen on the two arms and legs of the figure, which are inherent to the cast. The rein is new and was recently fabricated by Wilson Conservation, LLC., because the original was missing. The sculpture is clean and has a fresh protective wax coating on the surface.
