Overall the marble is rather dirty with black specking and dust and other dirt marks throughout, index finger of the boy has been broken away revealing a metal pin, dog has a more notable russet coloured spot stain by its collar but otherwise looks to be in good condition, signed lower left beneath the pan pipes.
Very heavy - shipping would need to be by a specialist carrier.
