Condition
The bronze appears sound. There are one or two extremely tiny possible casting imperfections. There is some very light rubbing to the surface of the bronze, most apparent at the shoulders of the figure. There is some casting residue on the surface in places, most notably on the upper part of the concave section of the figure's torso. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in excellent overall condition.
The figure is affixed to two separate bases, one upper and one lower. Both are attached with screws. .
