Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. All the elements appear to be stable and secure. There are three cracks to one of the fingers on one of the extended hands. The crack closest to the palm appears to have been reattached and there is some adhesive residue around it. Around the feet and on the black base, residue particles are visible, which are inherent to the fragile nature of the medium. All other surface inconsistencies appear to be inherent to the work and the artist's working method.
