Condition
This work is in very good and sound condition overall. There appears to have been previous rubbing to the knuckles of the figure's hands, which has left changes in the surface patina and light abrasions. The fabric covering the figure's right arm has been pulled slightly at the front and rear, resulting in exposed threading.
