appears to be in generally good, undamaged condition; there may have originally been a short glass or porcelain insert that fit into the small well area of the large pansy blossom at the far left side; uniform dulling to gilding, commensurate with age and handling; some light rubbing rubbing losses to the patina, for example, on the figure's back not of great consequence and commensurate with age and handling
