Condition
Nombreux éclats visibles, sans restauration particulière. L'il gauche a disparu, l'oeil droit a été replacé. Un document datant de 1928 reproduisant le mortier montre effectivement que les yeux sont absents.
Many visible chips, no particular restoration. The left eye is missing, and the right one has been replaced. A document from 1928 shows that both eyes are in fact missing.
