Condition report
The bronze figure shows a softening of the gilded finish from age but the appearance is a soft dull gold. No damage and no dents or scratches to the finished surface. The figure appears to have been rebased at some point with a polished stone base with new cement and bolt fixings visible to the reverse. PLEASE SEE ADDITIONAL IMAGES
