Overall very good original condition. This work has been examined under black light and there is no evidence of prior restoration. The surfaces present with minor irregularities, including minute burst air bubbles, inherent in the material and production technique. The recessed surfaces of the design with minor surface dirt. The sculpture with two minor burst air bubbles, one located to the forehead of the figure and the second to the back of the neck. The glaze presents with a wonderful rich hue and delicate metallic glaze. A wonderfully detailed and expressive sculptural form.
