Condition
This work is in very good condition overall considering its age. The structure is stable and secured to the base. The paint layer is tightly bound and stable. There are only a few minor paint losses to the edges/rims of the elements. A three-inch light brown accretion is visible on the surface of the top element. The base does have a visible light dirt layer (due to its age).
