Condition

The figure is in overall good condition with light pitting and natural veins to the stone. There are typical minute nicks to the edges, including the ears and eyelids. There is a shallow chip measuring approx. 0.9 cm to the left foreleg and a tiny nick/natural flaw to the same leg. The catalogue illustration is slightly redder than the actual colour of the stone.
