Condition
Good overall condition, consistent with age and use. The patinated bronze presents with instances of light oxidation on the head (with light vert-de-gris drippings below the ears and some traces of vert-de-gris on the underside of the muzzle, partially visible on the catalogue illustration) and with significant wear and oxidation on the legs, that seems to be inherent to previous external use, also visible on the catalogue illustration. The epoxy stone is in excellent condition with very few light stains and some irregularities inherent to the making
