Elegant bronze in good condition. Small, manufacturing-related repairs on the straight surface at the top due to the casting technique (inherent to the work). Weather-related small streaks (white-grayish) or slight lime deposits and minimal soiling, as well as slight traces of oxidation, which are characteristic of the outdoor display for which it was intended.
