Condition
Overall the condition of the bronze is very good, with minor dirt and wear to the surface. There is minor rubbing to the patina at the high points. There is some white residue to some of the crevices, including above the proper left legs. A stable hairline casting fissure is slightly visible at the top of the proper right front leg. There is a very minor area of greening to the neck.
The base is in good condition with some wear. There appears to be some fill to the left edge of the base.
