Condition
Moss green patina. There is some very minor pitting in places, some of which appears to have been in-filled with plaster. There are some patches of green pigmented wax visible, primarily to the back of the figure, which appear to have been applied to conceal some minor casting flaws. There are some tiny scratches in places, not visually distracting. This work is in overall very good condition.
