Condition
Very good condition. The patina shows areas where the wax has crystallized, however, the wax could be reincorporated into the bronze by a conservator. There is a small hairline crack (approximately 1 inch) across figure's right leg; a small scratch (approximately 1 1/2 inch) on the back near the top of figure's right shoulder, and slight wear to patina on figure's left shoulder.
