Dark brown patina. There are some spots of oxidisation on the mouth of the first cow. There is some patina rubbing in places, particularly to the nose of the back cow, and to the spine of the front cow. There are some tiny plaster remnants visible to the belly of the first cow and there is surface dirt and some dust in the crevices consistent with age and handling. Overall this work is in good condition.
