Condition

Overall in good condition. When viewed in person, the surface presents with a dark green color, deeper than in the catalogue illustration. The bronze with minor surface scratches, light rubbing and minor edge abrasions consistent with age and gentle handling. Some oxidation and light surface dirt to the recessed portions. An impressive sculpture with great presence when viewed first hand.
