Condition

Overall very good condition. The epoxy stone has been cleaned and presents with minor surface dirt, a few areas of slight discoloration, occasional irregularities inherent in the material, and one small crack above the proper left ear which has been filled and is only visible upon close inspection. The bronze surfaces have are in very good condition with minor surface scratches, minor abrasions and minor wear to the patina to the raised points consistent with age and gentle handling. An iconic design by Lalanne.
