Condition is very good with no damage, repairs or restoration. There is a very fine, tight hairline over the muzzle and another part way across the shoulders. A couple of tiny spots of discolouration to the base and small areas of discolouration to the back and right ear. A few specks of black kiln dust are also present dotted about.
