Condition
Bronze-coloured patina. The figure is securely fixed to the base. There is some wear and rubbing to the patina, consistent with age and handling. There is a horizontal border of rubbing along the lower edge of the base, possibly due to an attachement to a further base. There are some minor remnants, proabably from the foundry and due to the casting process. This work is in overall good condition.
