Condition

Each with a slightly uneven dark greenish brown patina. There are some signs of rubbing to the back cloak of the female figure as well as some scattered minor spots of verdigris to both figures. Plaster residue is visible in the deeper crevices of both, and the front legs of both figures are gently bent. Scratches consistent with age, otherwise fine and in good condition.
