Condition
The plaster appears to have been placed outside, and consequently there is dirt throughout. In particular, there is moisture staining, notably at the arms and face and proper left arm, and there is minor lichen in areas around the bottom. There are several small lacunae, probably original, notably to both arms and the neck. The bust is composed in two sections, with a visible joint running across horizontally and visible at both arms and the head. There are a few minor chips, in particular to the bottom edge. There is a stable fissure to the abdomen on the proper right side.
