Condition
Overall the work is in very good condition. The silver patina is slightly worn and has turned slightly pink in some areas; this is inherent to the aging process. The separate elements of the sculpture are stable and well-attached. The work is inherently roughly hewn and shows a number of uneven cuts and scuffs to the surface likely due to the artist's working method.
