There is some rubbing to the base of the sculpture. There are two spots of oxidisation below the back of the neck, with a few smaller more minor instances elsewhere including the crevices. There is dust and dirt and studio detritus particularly in the crevices. This excepting the work appears to be in very good overall condition.
