Painted and glazed ceramic. The front of the body features a textured layer of paint which appears to be in original state. There appears to be a repair between the head and the body, and a one-inch by one-inch area of the back of the figure's neck is lifting. Few very minor losses along extreme bottom edge of figure's back. The work is in generally good condition.
