3.10.25-In my opinion regarding LOT 3172- the large and detailed figure is overall intact and stands sturdy, I observe some tonal variation, rubs, spotting, and a few slight areas of verdigris patination (mostly at base), I further note some inherent pitting, imperfections, and light surface wear throughout, all elements appear securely attached with details remaining crisp and well-defined, there are no apparent breaks, major losses, or restorations noted, all commensurate with display and storage
