More Information

Chips, nibbles and abrasions to the highpoints, some loss of definition to the figures. General scratching, wear and tear commensurate with age. There appears to be pink-orange staining or discolouration around the base and the front leg of the horse. This piece has been attached to a later marble fragment base with an adhesive putty, with glue residue between the putty and the stele. Please view additional pictures.
