Condition
Generally very good overall condition. The surfaces are clean and possibly refinished. There is a 2 inch shrinkage crack to the central rose cluster to the left of the figure's left hand which is consistent with the age of the piece and does not detract due to the complexity of the overall carved composition. Some rubbing and losses to the gilding.
