Condition: Maybe 40 years ago someone's wife wanted this a dark bronze color instead of the original gold, and the husband dutifully painted it metallic bronze. Now there are some chips here and there which reveal the original color; leave as is or remove the paint carefully. The statue is sound with no breaks nor repairs, and the "clock arm" is original in every respect. Overall a very nice example of this model. Height 30 inches
