The bronze is very dusty and dirty, there appears to be some slight surface scratches to the some of the extremities but overall this is good condition, would benefit from a clean. Overall has a dark brown patina wearing through on the extremities to a pale golden brown, there are some small areas where the finish has been worn and is a little patchy, the base is later and is not actually attached to the bronze.
