02.17.2026- In my opinion regarding LOT: 3075- please note that I am not an expert on such items, so have taken numerous images for your reference, the figure is securely affixed to the later metal base and presents with stable overall structure, a careful UV light examination reveals the aforementioned restoration to the neck and at several areas of the legs and hooves, with visible fluorescence and fill, I further observe an area of fluorescence to the belly of one which appears to be surface residue rather than structural repair, however I am unsure, please refer to images, I note a few areas of possible overpainting, scattered chips, glaze losses, and minor losses along raised elements and edges, the later metal base remains stable with patination, surface rubs, and wear
