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.
This sculpture is in generally good overall condition with minor losses and repairs to the extremities. Notably the quill has been repaired and recoloured. This model, with raised pins, presumably for the purpose of forming moulds for the creation of further versions, perhaps in bronze, would likely have been used in a foundry or similar and would not have been intended for decorative use. It has been later coloured to simulate terracotta.
