Condition report:
The Pierrot head: the carving of the tip of the nose looks slightly rubbed at the very end. Please see additional photographs. There is a slight yellowing but this could just be light discolouration from the sun/environment. The one ear to left side is possibly with slight dirt to the recess. General wear and rubbing in other areas, particularly to the edges and corner notably to the base with some very small dents along the edge.
Please request further images, if needed.
