  Condition report:

  In overall good condition. The work was recently polished but remains relaively dirty and would therefore enormously benefit from a silver dip-cleaning. With accumulated dirt and dust in the crevices of the work. Aside from localized surface grime and some bent wire pieces (lasso, reins and weapon), the sculpture does not present any signs of repair or restoration.
