Condition
The bronze is sound with a moss green patina. There is some handling wear to the patina in places, primarily to the base, and there are some scattered minor scratches visible to the body of the sculpture and the base. There is a possible spot of re-patination visible to the interior of the circular opening within the sculpture's body. There is some dust in the crevices and this work could benefit from a light surface clean. This work is in overall good condition.
