Condition
The plaster is coated. There is some discolouration to the coating layer and a build-up of dust in the original folds and creases consistent with age and usage. Some studio dirt and handling marks in places. There is a tiny nick to the top of the figure's head and a small loss to the back of the base. A few further tiny nicks to the base and the back of the figure's body. This work is in good overall condition.
