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.

Some evidence of old worming overall. Particularly to the back of the head and neck. Carved to the reverse but with a large section cut out and hollowed. Large cut out to the back of the head and the chest, probably for reliquary elements. With a piece of fabric on the reverse. Some cracking overall, some discolored in-painted repairs to the cracks and well as infill to the old worming. Worming especially evident to the base. With later drilled holes to the base. With the remnants of a paper label t the underside. Proper right ear to dragon looks replaced and is a slightly different color, another repair t his proper right foot. Multiple cracking to the top of his head and drilled hole possibly for a halo.
