Condition
Dark brown patina. There are some small spots of patina rubbing to the underside of the figure's feet, right hand and knee, and some very minor spots of verdigris to the figure's left knee and foot. There is some dust in the crevices. This work could benefit from a light clean and is in overall good condition.
