Condition
The sculpture appears sound. There is oxidisation and staining to the bronze. The polished patina at the edges of the work has been eroded as a result of the work's exhibition outside. There are areas of green surface matter to the top of the sculpture. There is rust to the circular base of the sculpture where it is joined to the stone base.
The sculpture is affixed to a painted stone base. There are losses to the paint and also some losses to the stone. There is surface dirt, lichen and earth apparent to the base, consistent with the work having been displayed outside.
