Condition
The terracotta appears sound and the surface is a nicely textured pinkish orange. There do not appear to be any signs of repair visible under UV light. There are handling marks and some minor wear to the surface consistent with age and handling, some superficial dust to the crevices. There is a small scratch (approx. 1 cm long) at the right of the left feet on the base and a small patina loss (approx. 0.4 cm long) to the left edge of the base, possibly original. This work is in overall very good condition and would benefit from a light clean.
