Technical Observations: The fox is a solid cast and is intact. It was probably modeled in the wax, and some post-casting finish work is evident at the bottom of the back feet. There are tool marks on the surface, such as on the proper left hind leg, which appear to be modern from rough cleaning. The patina is smooth black with some green and red.
