Condition report
The work is currently mounted in a wooden base (constructed by Bellmans) but the four poles which hold each section can be sunk into concrete. Repairs to base tiles and to one of the heads with a few small sections missing; scattered surface dirt and a few minor chips.
Technical information
The dimensions of the plinth are 85 x 85cm and the highest point is 186cm. Most of the sculpture is within the 85cm square but a few elements such as the bowl and bird protrude beyond, so widest points would be approximately 90cm by 90cm. 15 individual pieces make up the 4 pillars which are supported by four steel rods and these are surrounded by 16 tiles that form the base. Approximate weight is between 150-200kg
