Overall very good condition. The patinated bronze surfaces display a rich russet brown and green patina, with scattered minor surface scratches and abrasions throughout, and with minor traces of oxidation and surface soiling to the recessed contours of the design. The interior surfaces present with oxidation throughout, only visible when the liner is removed. The liner appears to be a later replacement and presents with light surface soiling to the recesses. A highly sculptural and tactile design depicting marsh foliage in high relief.
