It is in wonderful condition and has a brilliant patina. Sotheby''s Colonade lists a sale of one of these statues in April of 1994 with an estimate of 800 Pounds (~ $1,200), and an actual price realize of ~ 735 Pounds w/ premium (about $1,100). Fine bronzes have increased in value significantly over the last 10-15 years. This would be an excellent buy in the $1,500 range.
