Condition

Good overall condition. The base presents with some light surface scratches scattered, consistent with age and use. The gilding of the torso presents with variations in tone that might be inherent to the artist's will or caused by some wear and tarnishing overtime. The torso presents with two minute holes. There are a few very rare and light oxidation stains, including a larger one below the chin and a tiny vert-de-gris stain on one shoulder.
