Heavy wear and abrasion to the bust, commensurate with age. There are many nibbles, chips and losses to the highpoints and fabric folds. No obvious signs of repair. The bust is securely attached to the base, which is heavily worn. Piece would benefit from professional cleaning. See pictures for illustration.
