Condition

This work is in very good and structurally sound condition overall. The sculpture shows signs of age and loose elements, which is inherent to the artist's intention and chosen medium. There is a three inch long streak of rust on the figure's left bicep, most likely inherent to the artist's working method. There is evidence of surface discoloration and wear along the corners and legs of the base, again most likely inherent.
