Condition
The patina is uneven due to the natural ageing process and there is discolouration and surface dust throughout, most notably in the crevices. Pitting and nicks are also present across the surface of the sculpture that are likely a result of the artist's casting process. Accretions are also visible throughout. The work is in good overall condition, as viewed.
