Condition
Overall the condition of the stone is good, with minor wear and dirt to the surface consistent with age. There appears to be a restored break running horizontally across the centre of the figure, visible particularly at the back. There are some minor losses, notably to the fingers of the proper left hand. There are a few minor chips and abrasions, including to the bottom edge. There is some rubbing to the surface throughout.
