The sculpture appears sound. There is a very small casting flaw apparent to the neck of the smaller figure and towards the lower reverse of the taller figure. There is some slight rubbing to some of the protruding edges of the work. There are some traces of casting residue in some of the pitted areas of the work, and there is some light oxidisation in places. The patina is slightly uneven in places, and there is some light surface dirt. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in good overall condition.
