Condition
Attractive black patina. There are a few fine surface scratches to the figure's stomach, to her proper left shoulder blade and right buttock. There is a spot of oxidization to her proper left leg, and to the bottom of her stomach. There is some dust in the crevices and minor wear in places, consistent with age and handling. This work is in overall good condition.
