Overall in fairly good condition. Irregular and varied light green patina. There are several areas of rust staining and streaking in the surface throughout the work, probably inherent to the artist's desired effect. There are scattered areas of patina loss and flaking, mostly around the front side of the central hole. In addition, there is a 4cm sq. area of patina loss toward the lower right corner of the upright form.
