Condition
This work is in good and sound condition overall. The entire surface is partially oxidized, which appears inherent to the material and the artist's intentions. There are also noticeable accretions of dust in the folds and crevices of the sculpture. The backside of the sculpture shows signs of general wear. The central part of the backside has a few areas where minor cracking in the surface appears to have occurred.
