All arms appear to be cracked at shoulder connection and at elbow, but I don’t know as if they have actually been broken. Surprisingly, all fingers are intact. There is wear to the paint and gesso in places as to be expected. It is hard to tell, but I think one of the glass eyes may be cracked. less
