Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is less matte and there are fewer green undertones in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals a few superficial and shallow scratches in places, as well as some small spots of oxidation and some dust in the recesses. There are handling marks in places. All other surface irregularities are likely to be inherent to the casting process.
