Condition
The sculpture is in very good condition. There is some evidence of residue of an old label on the underside. There is some light patina rubbing at the tips of wings and wear and oxidation and maturation to the patina which is consistent with its age and the artist's intention. There is what appears to be an old loss to the tip of the left leg, approx. 3/4 in. in length which does not detract from the work. There are some very minor scuffs and surface dirt.
