the wing on the right side of the figure's helmet is bent downwards; it also appears that there has been a break and repair to this wing near the area where it is in proximity to the helmet; the patina is generally uniform in appearance; there are areas where there is darker spot coloration and patchiness; typical wear/rubbing to patina, including to high points, commensurate with age and handling; there is some irregularity to the patina/finish on the bottom of the figure's raised right foot; the right arm is slightly loose at the join area; there are some scattered small rim chips to the marble base as well as a corner area that has had restoration/repair; the bronze figure is slightly loose on its marble base and would benefit from being tightened
