Condition Report:
Good overall condition
The patinated bronze surface presents with scattered minor surface irregularities, such as a few pinholes, which are inherent to the making, as well as areas of wear mostly on the prominent parts and a few light oxidation in places, consistent with the normal aging process of the material.
The surface also presents with some light scattered abrasions and tiny dents in places revealing the original colour of the bronze, all commensurate with age and none of which are visually distracting.
