Condition

This work is in very good condition. There is evidence of light wear and a few scattered very fine abrasions visible only in raking light. There is evidence of consistent and even rubbing on the surface at the top of the sculpture as well as in places on the base, which appears inherent to the artist's working method. Otherwise, the sculpture appears structurally sound and no other apparent condition problems.
