The sculpture is a bronze figure and has two small holes drilled to the underside for attachment to a base or secure fitting. There is a chip to the jawline of the left side of the face (please see image), there appears to also be a very small nick to the lower back. There are scuffs and rubbed areas on the underneath of the sculpture likely resultant from handling and moving of the sculpture. Please see further photographs for evidence.
