Condition
This work is in very good and structurally sound condition overall. The irregular surface texture is inherent to the artist's working method. The base shows signs of light wear and handling along the edges. When the work was originally stamped in 1998 by Art Foundry in Santa Fe, NM, the artist's name was improperly spelled 'NUAMAN.' The work was examined in 2018 by the former director of Art Foundry, who acknowledged the misspelling, approved the work and deemed it in proper condition for sale.
