Large hole to the head section which may well have at one point had something else inserted into it, holes pierced through to each side of her face beneath the ears, main body looks very good with one small chip noted to the right hand side at the bottom of her veil, and possibly the tip of the cherubs wings missing, but otherwise good. Base is flattened off and has two old pin holes, overall rather dirty.
