Condition report:
Overall in good condition. Cast and finished with decoration to the front, back and sides. Very small minor scuff to the patina just beside the woman’s face. A few other extremities rubbed - eg the feet. All commensurate with age and use. Possibly there should be an internal liner, which is lacking. See extra images.
