C Estate of Steven and Anne Ausnit

appears to be in generally good, undamaged condition; typical wear, rubbing and dulling to the gilt patina, commensurate with age and handling; the standing figure is somewhat loose; the colorless glass insert is a later replacement and is a poor fit (too small; doesn't sit well)
