Condition
Good overall condition.
One finger restaured on the right hand. Some slight wear to the patina all over the surface, mostly at the edge of the front drapery of the dress. Some slight oxidizing traces, and a few slight cracks to the ivory on both arms, all consistent with normal age and use. The ivory very nicely carved and in very good overall condition. A restoration to one upper corner of the marble base of approximatively 2 cm long and a few minor chips.
