Condition
There has been a break to the face, which has been repaired. There is a star-shaped minor split to the underside of the figure and one or two other further inherent smaller splits to the wood, which appear to have been in-filled at some stage. There appears to be a wax in-fill to the figure's left leg. There are a few further very minor nicks and nips to the raised surfaces, visible upon close inspection. This excepting the work appears to be in good condition.
