Condition
Attractive dark brown/gold patina. There are a few visible casting plugs in places, consistent with the casting process. Apart from some surface scratches, scuffs, and patina wear, most of which is consistent with age and handling, this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the patina is slightly warmer and more varied in the original.
