Condition
Overall excellent original condition. The bronze surfaces with some light surface scratches, minor rubbing to the high points, and scattered areas of oxidation consistent with age and gentle handling. A few vertical stems are slightly misaligned. The fused shot treatment of the central core element contrasts beautifully with the stems and buds surrounding it. A highly sculptural and textured bush form.
