The figure has been broken underneath her skirt in several places with residue of glue on the surface and numerous glaze flakes around the immediate area. Please see images. There is a slight hairline crack going upward through her skirt on the blue area on her right, but the good thing about the damage is that when the figure is standing upright and looking at it immediately in front of you, you cannot see the damage. Her left hand has a sharpness to the tips of her fingers, there might be a slight glaze chip there also. No other damage detected
