Italian, Rome, 2nd half 17th century

Overall the condition of the marble is good. There is some minor wear and dirt consistent with age. A section on the left side has been reattached, the edge near the forehead may have been restored. There is some scratching to the lower end of the relief. An iron wire runs across a slit on the reverse for mounting.
