Condition
This work is in very good and sound condition overall. The elements are well intact and in good working order. The hare element moves smoothly and freely on top of the bell. There are very faint surface abrasions throughout. There is light wear and scattered pinpoint oxidation marks along the bottom edges of the base legs and on one side of the bell. The uneven surface texture is inherent to the artist's working method.
