Notes on Material


Comments on Condition
The surface dust noted is primarily located in the deeper sculpted areas and the area where the sculpture meets the base. The extremely minor burnishes noted refer to two of the knees that are very slightly shiny. Extremely minor pits are located in the lower half, which in our opinion are original to the work.
