Condition Report:
The bronze is in good condition overall, with minor surface dirt in the crevices. Some minor wear and scratches to the patina in several places, consistent with age and handling. Some vert-de-gris oxidation stains to the bronze, in particular to the crevices of the rocky base. Very minor casting flaws underneath her proper right shoulder.
