Condition report:
The figure is noted as being wobbly or loose on its multi-tiered base. There are visible horizontal join lines or casting seams across the back of the veil and shoulders. Evidence of oxidation and a potentially rough old repair is present at the joint where the right hand meets the handle of the oil lamp.
