Condition

Varied greenish patina. There are several patches of verdigris throughout the surface, especially around the base of the bottle-like formation near top and in some recesses also just beneath this formation. There is a three by two inch area of lightening to the surface on the central back leg, possibly from a prior restoration (visible in catalogue illustration). Apart from a few spots of very minor patina rubbings and a few small scratches this work is in very good condition.
