Condition
Overall in very good condition. The patinated bronze surfaces with some very light surface scratches and minor rubbing to the patina consistent with age and gentle handling. A section of the arrow immediately adjacent to the proper right hand is very subtly bent downward and presents with some light rubbing to the patina, as seen in the catalogue illustration. The recessed contours of the figure's hands, feet and stole with some light surface soiling consistent with age. The base with a few minute scattered edge nicks to the immediate edge. The sculpture presents with a vibrant green and brown patina which is more nuanced and vivid when viewed in person. A wonderfully dynamic example of the artist's work displaying monumental scale and impactful presence.
