Condition
This work is in very good condition apart from some scattered soft surface scratches at the upper back and the center of the posterior. Scuffs around the legs where the legs reaches the base and minor scuffs and scratches at the sides. Some possible inherent cracks at the sides and front of the figure. An area of rippling in the resin above the center. The colours are more soft in tone than the catalogue suggests.
