Condition Report:
Overall in good condition. Missing a weapon / staff or something similar, with a hole to the base, adjacent to the foot.
The marble base with the odd scuff and knock commensurate with use and age, minor small chips to extremities.
Overall very dusty and dirty and will require careful cleaning. The patina with the usual rubbed areas commensurate with age and use. There are a few dents, notably to the upper arm / shoulder area and to the drinking cup edge. Possibly the figure has fallen over at some point. Photographs to follow.
