Condition Report

We believe there to have been no repair or restoration to the figure. Several areas of pigment loss throughout, as visible in the catalogue illustration. All remaining pigment appears stable. Some thin stable cracks and minor losses throughout, commensurate with age and traditional use. Fine varied patina to the ironwood. The figure is mounted on a custom metal stand, via a small hole in the base of the sculpture.
