Condition
This work is in excellent condition overall. Minor rubbing of the surface layer is visible in some areas of the mid-section and lower section of the sculpture. There is some wear to the bottom of the sculpture, specifically to the bottom section that is inserted into the base. The overall surface layer is stable and the structure itself appears stable upon inspection.
