Condition
This work is in very good and sound condition overall. The base has oxidized and there are scattered light white accretions towards the bottom and a small area of loss at the bottom of the base, all to be expected of a work placed outdoors. A light dust has accumulated between the figures fingers. There is evidence of pitting to the figure. There are minor areas of oxidation throughout the figure and minor white drip accretions at the figures legs, also to be expected from a work placed outdoors.
