Heavy insect damage particularly to the top of the head and to the reverse. One larger crack to the reverse of the headdress and losses to both ears. As visible in the catalogue illustration, the proper left arm is missing as well as the proper right foot of the smaller reverse figure. Grey camel colour throughout typical of the wood species.
