Condition

Structurally sound, there are one or two very tiny casting imperfections visible to one of the legs, but this does not appear to impact the work. There is a small, minor scuff to the back of the right hand figure, with very minor surface dirt and a small trace of light possible oxidisation to the shoulder of the right figure. There is a further spot of rubbing to the back of the head of the right hand figure, and further very minor rubbing to the tips of the arms. There is surface dirt and studio detritus to the polished faces, but this excepting the work appears in very good overall condition.
