Condition
The medium is bronze with nuanced brown patina. The work is in good overall condition. There is some minor rubbing to the protruding elements and some dirt in the more recessed areas. In parts, the patina has a metallic sheen. In others the brown appears to be a more traditional brown with some gloss. The work presents very well. There is a marble base measuring 1 3/8 by 3 5/8 by 3 inches.
