Condition
This work is in good condition overall. All elements are intact and the work is structurally sound. Upon close inspection, there is a gentle indentation visible on the black forehead of the figure. There is also a small chip on the right side of the back of the head of the figure. There are small signs of rubbing throughout the work visible on close inspection, most noticeably at the back of the neck, on the sides, the hands, and inner ankles of the figure. This can be attributed to wear and handling. Please note that this work does not include its original cardboard box.
