Condition
Overall the condition of the bronze is good, with some dirt and wear to the surface consistent with age. The patina is slightly dull in areas. One of the catapult's strings has broken at the base where it is held in the proper left hand. There is minor greening in areas, including to the proper left hand, to the chest on the proper left side and to the underside of the proper right arm. There is veining to the green marble base, consistent with the material, including some slightly open but stable veins.
