Condition
In overall stable, attractive condition. The wings seem to have been reinforced in their setting, having a hairline split with visible adhesive repair near the tip of one wing, and a small chip to the tip of the other. The wings may also be later than the rest of the sculpture. Otherwise stable and free of significant losses or repairs. A minor nick to the figure's left hip, some small dark spots to the back between the wings, adhesive residue to nape of neck. See additional photos for reference.
