The sculpture appears sound. There are some small scattered scratches in places, some of which are inherent to the piece. There may be one or two very small chips or losses in places, a few of which have been infilled. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in very good overall condition. The work is attached with one central metal support to a polished wooden base. The metal base is slightly loose in the wooden base. The wooden base has a title plaque on the front. There are one or two knocks to the edges of the wooden base, and there is a small crack just above the plaque on the front of the base.
