Technical Observations: The statuette appears to be solid cast using the lost-wax technique. Its surfaces are now granular in appearance, with most corrosion products removed. This suggests aggressive acidic or electrolytic cleaning. The patina is brown with green in low relief areas. The patina continues over the break at the legs. The loss of the original surface does not allow any further characterization of the workmanship.
