Condition
Very good condition overall with minor wear and a few scratches to the patina consistent with age and handling. Remains of oxidation in the crevisses at several places, especially to Christ's rear of head and crown, as well as to his perizonium, which can be easily removed by a thorough cleaning.
A vertical slot in the back of the Corpus allows to see the inside of the cast. Very attractive piece.
