Condition
Work is in excellent condition. The bronze is sound with an attractive dark and light brown patina. There is a light build up of dust in the crevices and very little wear to the patina. There are noticeable surface scratches on the base of the work which are inherent to the artist's technique. There is a small nick to the near inside right, towards the base. Otherwise, fine.
