Condition
Gold patina. Chips and irregularities along the base that are inherent to the bronze cast. There are a few minor accretions in some of the deeper crevices as well as a few pindot surface stains and a few tiny surface scratches on the rear of the figure's thigh, otherwise this work is in very good condition.
