The patina is grayish green; it is somewhat mineralized and features brown burial deposits. The object is very porous and pitted. The head and neck are more solid, while losses have occurred near the feet. The figure is a solid cast. The hair curls were made from sheet metal. Carol Snow (submitted 2002)
