CONDITION = Good vintage condition - there is some minor wear on the cold painted or matte finished bits. Mainly one pink nostril and a tad on the mouth opening. There are three small glaze skips or micro chips towards the rear end right behind the saddle. I have a feeling these could even be original to the piece. I love them because this is only glimpse to the terra-cotta underneath. Very minor and unnoticeable. This has been cherished and well taken care of. In an excellent state of preservation

"A picture is worth a thousand words"

Please view & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged and not mentioned. Individuals do have varying levels of desire and tolerance for "vintage charm" so do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all, as they are an integral part and extension of the description.
