Condition
The sculpture is sound with an attractive black patina. There is some minor wear to the edges and the most protruding elements, consistent with age and handling. There are small scattered nicks, dents and surface scratches to the patina, possibly original. There is a light build-up of dust in the crevices and a few superficial handling marks in places. This work is in overall good condition.
