Please note that this sculpture is also numbered III/iV and stamped with the foundry mark. The sculpture is in excellent condition. The textured surface displays a mottled brown patina that is in very good condtion. The sculpture appears structurally sound with no significant scratches or abrasions evident on its surface. Several areas of minor blanched wax that appears as white specks in the recesses were observed on the surface. A clear wax coating currently serves as a protective coating.
