Condition
Structurally sound, there is a minor area of repair to an old crack appearing mid-way to one of the legs. This work has been carried out by Rungwe Kingdon of Pangolin Editions, and the repair matched to the original patina.
There is very minor surface dirt and dust to the crevices, with slight signs of casting residue to the underside. There is a slight minor scratch to the back of the female figure, only visible upon very close inspection, with one or two slight signs of ware to the patina of some of the raised elements along the extreme edge. This excepting the work appears in good overall condition.
