Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. Visible only upon close examination, two pinpoint paint losses are found on the tip and one on the left cheek of the sculpture. Visible only under raking light, very minor surface dirt is observed below the bigger left eye of the sculpture. Evidence of abrasion to the tips of the three legs, not visible when viewed upright and is consistent with the sculpture's mode of display.
