Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is oxidation with associated minor discoloration to the surface, inherent to the artist's working method and natural aging process for this medium. The sculpture is slightly imbalanced on the base and rests with a slight backwards lean, per the artist's intention. The wooden base shows signs of wear and age and with an associated warp along the front edge.
