Condition Report

A small chip to the rear of the right foot. Fine lines and age splits to the body, particularly on the back, chest and shoulders. An aged chip to the right elbow. A small age crack to the front and left side of the headdress and small edge knocks to the right hand side of the headdress. Well patinated throughout. A fine 3cm split to the base of the right leg. All faults, other than the small chip to the rear right foot, appear to be age related. The chip on the foot is neither fresh nor significantly old. The patination may lead one to date the item prior to the 1950s.
