With scattered overall rubbing and tarnish, more so to the figure's robes and the edges and the sides of the plinth under the clockface. The case could benefit from a light cleaning, but could easily be left as is. Figure originally held something in her hand, this element is missing but is not immediately noticeable. The back probably originally with a cap to works, now missing.
