Condition report:
There are the inevitable scuffs, scratches, dents, small chips and marks commensurate with wear, use and age.
The foot is not missing - it is a tripartite foot.
The orb is in relatively good condition. There are various scuffs and scratches. Two holes to the column above the spreading foot. A slight kink to one of the ring turnings and a slight ding to this area of the column.
Residue polish.
The eagle does not rotate.
It was transported as one whole piece, formerly in a parish church.
