Condition

Structurally sound, there is a slight possible casting flaw to the very base of the right foot, only visible upon very close inspection. There is minor surface dirt and traces of surface matter to the crevices, with slight signs of oxidisation to the underside and isolated flecks of vertigre to the legs. There are slight flecks of surface matter to the back corners of the bronze base. This excepting the work appears in very good overall condition.
