Like most of so large vesseljs this one too has some repairs. It has a few cracks on the top and on the foot,all invisibly re- paired. But no piece is missing or replaced,and the whole middle part is in perfect condition. The bronze is all around very clean,nowhere eaten by pa- tine. The design is narrow in lines.
