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.
Overall good condition consistent with age and gentle handling. The bronze surface with light scratches, minor wear and scattered areas of oxidation as can be expected with aging of this material. The patina with areas of minor wear and loss concentrated to the extremities. Roman joint with pin, consequential patch likely from the time of cast. The bow near the archer's hand with evidence of joinery to the separately cast parts, typical of early casts. Along the tip of the bow with a 1⁄4 in. hairline scratch.
