Condition
This work is in good and sound condition overall. The rough surface texture and color variation is inherent to the artist's choice of medium. There is evidence of light wear and faint surface abrasions visible under close inspection. There are a few scattered very minor accretions visible on the interior and exterior of the figure and the minor holes in the medium are likely inherent to the artist's working method.
