Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light handling and wear to each element. There is scattered scratching, pitting and oxidation to the metal elements, which are inherent to the medium and the working method of the artist. There is a split in the wooden base, which is likely inherent to the artist's choice of medium
