Very good condition for an object of this type and age. Scratches, marks, nicks, dents, abrasions, and small chips consistent with age and a long period of use. Chip through bottom of proper right ear, through a piercing for an attachment. Underside with two modern drill holes for attachment to base and a patch of wax at the center. Exceptionally fine aged dark brown rubbed patina with encrustation.
