Rich black patina. Surface dust throughout and some white accretions in the deeper crevices, inherent to the medium. Some rubbing to the edges of the figures' heads and to the extreme edges of their cloaks. There is a white accretion to the male's figure's proper left foot. There is a small chip to the back of the proper right foot of the male figure. The work is in good condition.
