* Original Paint & Patina: Each ram displays its original factory-applied pigment. The white ram shows authentic "honest wear," with characteristic chipping on high-relief areas like the wool texture and base edges.
* Surface Texture: Features the deeply molded, "crusty" wool texture and fluted rocky bases
* Structural Integrity: All three pieces are solid and heavy (approx. 6 lbs each), with no cracks, breaks, or repairs to the legs or bases. They stand level and are fully functional as heavy door porters.
* Internal Condition: The hollow-back interiors show natural, age-appropriate surface oxidation
