Condition
This work is in very good and sound condition overall. There are some signs of handling and wear to the extreme edges and protruding elements of the sculpture, most likely inherent to the artist's working process and chosen medium. Upon extremely close inspection under raking light there are some faint surface scratches scattered throughout and two minor nicks: one to the left edge of the base, and one to the right underarm of the figure.
