Very good overall condition. The patina is not homogeneous, as intended by the artist and visible on the catalogue illustration, and presents with a few light surface scratches. The edges of the plates and their inner sides present with scattered light scratches, consistent with age and use. The edges of the tip of the fins and of the tail presents with some wear to the patina, not visually distracting and consistent with age and use.
