Technical Observations: The patina is rough with dull grayish-green corrosion and patches of red on the chest and face. Brown accretions are present in low areas. The figure is missing the attributes that he would have been held in his hands. The base has been restored and filled with plaster. The top of the base and part of the feet have modern overpaint.
The warrior was cast solid by the lost-wax process with surface designs done in the wax model prior to casting.
