Condition

Restored to the mother's tail, and both ears and to its raised foreleg. These restorations are of reasonable appearence but have started to discolour slightly. The restoration to the ears and tail appear to be replacements rather than re-sticking the original parts. The raised foreleg uses the original piece but is restored just below the join to the body. Minor chipping to flowers and foliage on base.
