The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

There is a damage to his proper right arm near his armpit (as visible on the images).
There are some knocks, dents all over, mainly to the base.

There is some wear to the gilding and to the polychromy / lacquer.
There is a hole on top of the headdress with a possibly missing associated element.
The original base plaque is missing and was replaced by a later wooden plaque.
