Condition
This work is in very good and sound condition overall. There is evidence of light wear to the base of the sculpture, which shows signs of minor losses and indentations into the surface of the wood. These markings appear to be inherent to the material and the artist's working method. There are some minor indentations to the surface of the sculpture as well, which also appear inherent and are only visible under close inspection.
