Condition
Overall very good condition. The epoxy stone of each has been professionally cleaned and presents very well overall. The concrete for all three sheep is a fine grain with natural inclusions and irregularities inherent in the material. Some of the concrete areas with faint variations in coloration, as is common with age. The bronze elements of each have been professionally and sensitively waxed to bring out the saturation of the patina, presenting with rich variations of deep brown hues. The bronze of each with minor scuffs, rubbing and faint abrasions, consistent with age. The "agneau" presents with some minor oxidation to the feet in particular. Overall an iconic model that presents exceptionally well as a single grouping.
