There are also various marks and scuffs to the stomach and the rear.There is some nibbling/old chipping to the edges of the truncated arms and legs, with one or two fresher chips particularly to the right upper arm. There are some shallow losses to the folds of the drapery. The lower abdomen has an area of shallow scuffing/surface irregularity, with shallow pitting. There are circular apertures to the drapery, neck, and genitalia, where further parts may once have been attached (this lot is lacking elements as it is fragmentary in nature).The metal stand has some slight wear to the colour of the edges and stem.
