- bronze, light brown patina, on a red marble base
Condition
Overall, the condition of the bronze is very good, with minor dirt and wear to the surface consistent with age. There is minor rubbing to the patina, particularly at the high points. There are a few areas of white specks of paint, including to the forehead and the proper left sleeve, and on the base at the feet. The sword and shield were cast separately, and a slightly open but stable joint is visible at the top of the shield. The marble base is in good condition, with a few minor chips to the edges.
