Condition

FR : Très bon état général. Quelques légères usures de la patine sur les arêtes des cuisses, des flancs, des épaules et des extrémités des oreilles ainsi que sur la terrasse. L'ensemble cohérent avec l'ancienneté de la pièce. La patine est moins contrastée que le suggère l'illustration du catalogue. EN : Very good overall condition. Some minor wear to the patina on the edges of the thighs, the flanks, the shoulders and the top of the ears and of the base. All of it consistent with age. The patina shows less contrast than on the catalogue's illustration.
