Condition
Overall in very good condition. When viewed in person, the epoxy stone presents with a slightly more desert sand color than in the catalogue illustration. The epoxy stone presents with minor surface dirt consistent with age and limited outdoor exposure. The top of the head with a small dark stain to the proper right measuring approximately ½ in. in diameter. The front and proper left back side of the body with a few very minor flecks to the concrete, not at all visually disruptive. The bronze surfaces with a few surface scratches, minor abrasions, wear to the patina and traces of oxidizing consistent with age and exposure. The traces of oxidization are mostly visible on the legs, as seen in the catalogue illustration. A great example of an iconic Lalanne creation.
