Condition
Appearing in overall good, stable, and ready to place condition. The clown held in the figure's right hand is not firmly affixed, rather it rests loosely on a pin in his closed fingers. Examination under UV light reveals and area of the figure's right hand and raised right arm which fluoresce. This is possibly the result of touch-ups and restoration to the area as the surface has a slightly uneven quality when viewed with the naked eye. Minor surface deposit; would benefit from gentle cleaning. No other significant issues to note. Additional images are available upon request.
