The statue is weathered, this has impacted the detail of the carving. There are small losses to base of sceptre, to top of orb and other details. There is a repaired section (top left corner as you look at it). Recent chips to crown and moustache. Top, sides and back rough (undressed) stone. Viewing recommended.
