Condition
This work was previously exhibited outdoors and displays associated weathering. There are dust accretions in between the hairs and along the spine of the figure. The surface on the back is stained, which is likely due to exposure to liquid. It is signed, editioned, and dated on the proper right side of the back just above where the sculpted figure emerges from the base. Overall, the sculpture appears to be in very good condition.
