Condition
Good condition overall with minor surface dirt, notably in the crevices, and wear to the patina consistent with age and handling. Minor scratches are visible at several places with a slightly larger scratch is visible to Theseus' proper right shoulder. Traces of greening are visible at several places, notably to Bienor's back. A vertical strip where the patina is slightly discoloured is visible to Bienor's proper right rear leg.
