Condition

Good overall condition. The patinated bronze presents with a few rare scratches and small scuffs, not visually distractive. The patina presents with some light wear throughout and with some significant wear on the protruding elements, partially revealing the original color of the bronze. There are a few areas with some light abrasions of the patina and a few surface stains. Some dust and very light oxidation in the recessed areas. All consistent with age and use.
