Condition Report

Incised with the letters C (or perhaps O) and N on the underside of the base.

There appears to be a change in the patina from the brown/gold of the torsos, heads, and arms of the figures to a more verdigris patina on their legs. There is also wear to the patina on the legs, particularly on their calf muscles. There is a spot of wear also under their elbows on one side. Surface grime, with accumulated dirt in the interstices.
