Lot 660

This item is in fair condition, especially considering its age.

This item was previously an architectural carving, so obviously there are major losses and loss of the figures greater context. The figure is only missing its feet, as the rest of the figure appears to be whole.

As stated in the description there is a minor restoration to the face, localised at the nose and lips. Often these features are damaged, so this reconstruction is to be expected.

The back of the stone has had a clay like material that is begin to flake off. This does not appear to be causing any damage to the underlying stone.

There are minor abrasions and losses to the stone throughout. These abrasions appear to be of the period, not recent. Furthermore, the abrasions are stable and not flakeing. There are not any noticeable signs of cracks to the stone.

Please consult additional images for more information about specific losses.

Dimensions are approximately 26 cm wide, 69 cm high and 19 cm deep.
