Condition

Very good condition overall with minor scratches, surface dirt and wear to the patina consistent with age and handling. Two openings to the back of the Sibyl, probably due to the cast process, with a minor lack to the terrasse and to the Sibyl's proper left foot toe. With a few chips to the edges of the marble base with one corner more damaged.
