Condition Report:
The biscuit in in good condition overall, with surface dirt, in particular to the crevices. A few minor dark scratches in some places consistent with age and handling (notably to her proper left knee, and the rocky base at the front). One very minor firing crack underneath her proper left arm, consistent with the technique. A circa 3 mm minor chip to the lower edge of the terrace consistent with age and handling.
