Condition
Carved stone. There has been some restoration and in-filling corresponding to old damage to the cactus, between the base of the figure's legs and the feet, and to the proper right leg of the figure; this has been sympathetically repaired and is not visually distracting. There is some surface dirt in places. This work is in overall good condition.
