Overall good condition with shelf wear, scattered minor scuffs, scratches, and inherent firing flaws commensurate with age. This item is likely an excavation find and has breaks, repairs, and affiliated soil and surface grime throughout. The head is detached from the body and mounted to the figure via a later added internal dowel. As well, the figure has an opening through its clasped hands, possibly once holding a staff. Lastly, the figure has a larger opening verso, likely a device of former mounting. Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
