Condition
Figure's head is slightly loose in the mount. Ivory generally in good condition with slight natural cracking to figure's neck and another from her left ear up through her hair to the top of her head. Otherwise some discolouration to ivory particularly to tops of figure's leg and her right shin. Cold painting rubbed to highlights and with two rubbed `stripes' down her back. Base a little dirty and with small losses, particularly at corners, commensurate with age.
