The original copy of the El Shaer Certificate will not be available to the purchaser, because it corresponds to three different lots within this auction, each probably going to different purchasers. The head was broken off when the statue was consigned, and has recently been repaired with minimal restoration. Otherwise intact as preserved; encrustation and areas of uneven patination throughout. Additional photos available.
