PRINCE PAUL TROUBETZKOY | Bedouin and Camel

Overall the condition of the bronze is very good, with minor dirt and wear to the surface consistent with age. There appears to be a loss to the camel’s reins, the rein is cast separately and slightly loose but stable. The upper half of the Bedouin’s staff is also cast separately and slightly loose. There is minor pitting to the surface throughout, consistent with the casting technique. There is minor rubbing to the patina at the high points.
