Condition
Overall good condition with degradation, cracking, and misshaping of the metal as well as darkening/oxidation to bronze commensurate with an excavated object of antiquity. One of the griffin feet is loosed from its mount and rotates, but still supports the body of the vessel as intended. 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.
