Condition

Resin. There is some mnor rubbing with associated tiny nicks along the extreme edges. There are a few handling marks in places and a few dots of dirt ingrained, notably to the extreme left of the left wing and to the extremity of the tail. There is some superficial dust in the eye. There is a tiny nick towards the upper part of the right wing, possibly inherent to the casting process and a small spot of faint discolouration towards the centre of the upper edge of the left wing, possibly original. This work is in overall very good condition and could benefit from a light clean.
