Condition
Variegated dark green and dark brown patina. The present work comprises the figure and the base (together, one piece), as conceived by the artist. There is some minor staining to the base and a slight accumulation of dirt in the deepest crevices of the figure. The base shows some unevenness and scratching. Overall the work is in excellent condition.
