There are also a number of scratches to the horses and to the sphere, in keeping with the Artist's intentions, with further more minor instances elsewhere. There is some slight rounding to the extreme corners of the cube and rectangular shapes. There are small flecks of oxidisation throughout the sculpture, most visible around the feet of each figure. There is some light rubbing to the geometrical shapes and casting residue in places. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in good overall condition.
