Condition

Overall, the condition of the bronze is good, with minor dirt and wear to the surface consistent with age. There appears to be a knock to the chin, which has resulted in a minor loss to the patina. The patina is slightly dry in areas, including to the bacchante's shoulders and spine and to the integral socle. The proper left leg is cast separately; a joint is very slightly visible to the upper thigh. There is some light staining, probably from moisture, to the proper right leg. There is some minor greening to the integral socle.
