Condition

Fairly good condition overall with surface dirt, notably in the crevices, and minor chips along the lower edge of the base and to the high points consistent with age and handling. A few scratches are visible at several places. Minor lacks are visible to the foliage at Suzan's feet and to her hair. A lock is partly missing to her back. Red traces are visible at several places, notably on her proper left hand, on the grass below her proper left knee and to the left of her proper left thigh.
