Condition
The surface presents a three-toned patina: one is a modeled dark green and brown, the other a modeled yellowish-green and the base is a modeled dark green and black patina. There is an extremely small repair to one end of the top-most string element on the interior. Some minor signs of wear consistent with age. Overall this work is in very good condition.
