Condition
The bronze is sound with an attractive brown patina. There is some slight time-wear to the patina on some of the protruding areas and a few specks of patina loss in a few areas along the sharp edges of the base. There is an overall build-up of surface dust and some scattered white specks of dirt easily removable in areas of the base. This work is in very good original condition.
