Condition
Few inlaid stones are missing as visible on the catalogue photo. There is typical surface wear and oxidization to the gilding, but overall the figure remains in a good presentation state. There are few nicks to the surface, including a dent to the figure's hair lock. The tip of the manuscript in her upper left hand is chipped and missing. The figure is missing its original base, now set on a fitted metal stand.
