Condition
Good overall condition. The bird presents with some very light handling wear to the patina and with a few very light surface scratches. There is a wax remnant on the proper right wing, a few tiny scratches on the proper left side of the head and some more significant wear to the patina at the tip of the beak (partially revealing the original colour of the bronze). The underside of the bird presents with a few tiny oxidation stains scattered. The patinated bronze base presents with some instances of wear and some light oxidation with a few vert-de-gris stains (more significant on one leaf).
