Overall the condition of the bronze is good. There is some wear and dirt to the surface consistent with age. The bronze is a rough cast and there are several minor casting flaws, resulting in pits, nicks and a few minor, stable hairline fissures. Small corroded iron sprues are visible on both upper arms. There are scratches to the lacquer patina, including to the proper left side and arm and on the inside of the proper left leg. The blade of the sword is missing.
