1.20.25-In my opinion regarding LOT: 2189- the sculpture is securely attached to the rotating base, the bronze is intact with a UV examination revealing no apparent loss or restoration, I note some bending to the lasso, however this appears to be how it was made, and light variation to the patina, no major loss or restoration noted, the base rotates smoothly, as described there is some minor wood wear to the back of the base and a stable split at front right, see images, this does not affect the rotation and is secure
