Generally good. The legs are repaired just below the knees and at mid-calf, both repairs visible in the photo. The horns are fragmentary as sown and there is a crack or repair across the top of the proper right horn, and a short crack just below the horns. The head of Horus is eroded. The surface overall is somewhat worn but the engraved details remain crisp. The casting is slightly off axis, so that she appears to lean to her left a bit. A different mount than the old Egyptian marble mount she is on might help de-emphasize this.
