Condition
Blackish brown patina. The work is affixed to a wooden base. There is some minor patina rubbing along the horse's back and haunches as well as along the edges of the bronze base. There are a few scattered nicks to the surface and some glue residue visible between the bronze and the wooden base. But, overall the work is in good condition.
