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.

In generally good condition overall. With the inevitable minor marks, scratches, knocks and wear consistent with age and handling. With traces of dirt to the crevices. Some small chips and losses, as to be expected. With a natural inclusion running through the base of the tail. One side of the head with small points of possible infill. Previously mounted on a larger work, as evidenced by the round metal plate to the underside of the head where it was previously threaded. As catalogued, on a later green marble base.
