Condition:

This work is in very good condition. Bronze with mottled blue-green and brown patina. Dust in deep crevices. Some wear to the figure's back head at the sharp vertical edge. There are a few pindot holes at the back base and the lower element, as well as at the figures' front elbows at the back that are likely from casting. Wear to the patina at the sharp edge along the figure's chest. Scattered and faint pocking to the surface throughout, inherent to the artist's casting process.
