Condition
The sculpture appears sound. There is some very slight rubbing to some of the protruding edges. There is a small casting imperfection towards the back of the figure's head on the upper right. There is a small knock to the right edge of the vertical element at the back of the head. There is some light surface dirt and some light oxidisation in places. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in good overall condition.
The work is attached to a wooden base with one central bolt. The base is comprised of a circular upper layer which rotates, and a square lower layer which is static. The base is slightly worn.
