Condition
This work has an attractive coppery-brown patina. There is a spot of surface loss on the forehead of the Zébu. There are some tiny spots of white paint visible on the base, which could be removed. There is some dust in the crevices and this work could benefit from a clean. This work is in overall very good condition.
