The patina is uneven with rubbing throughout the surface. There are areas of oxidation, particularly at the base in the areas where the base meets with the figure's legs. There is also some dust accumulation in these areas. There is a ½ in. scuff to the shin of her leg—possibly done by the artist. Overall, the work is in very good condition.
