Condition

Overall in very good condition. The epoxy stone has been cleaned and presents with minor surface dirt and a few very minor losses consistent with age and outdoor exposure. The bronze surfaces have been cleaned and 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 work by Francois-Xavier Lalanne.
