Overall in good decorative order with some chipping, restoration, small losses and overpaint particularly to applied leaves.

This example with further restoration to tips of wings and to tail feathers, his left foot with one claw restored, two with losses to enamels, his right foot with two claws broken and lacking. Some small patches of retouching to black enamels. The other example restored to wings and tail feathers, his left foot with restoration to claws, two chipped to tips.
