Condition

Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the overall tonality of the sculpture is deeper and richer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals a few small spots of loss in isolated places throughout that are a result of the artist's decision to use soft, fragile materials.
