There are a few minor scratches to the edges of the bronze base. The patina is slightly uneven in places and there are a few minor inherent casting flaws. There are a few flecks of surface matter to the back of the figure's arm, and minor traces of surface dirt elsewhere, but this excepting the work appears in very good overall condition.
Housed on a small wooden base.
