This statue shows an old restoration at both ankles. Although the construction is now stable, the fracture line is visible (see detailed photos). Due to this imperfection, this imposing 60 cm piece is very favorably priced.
Ideal for those looking for a large, characterful altarpiece with an authentic history, without paying the price of a museum-perfect specimen.
