Condition Report:
Original patina, carefully cleaned and waxed, remaining in a fine ready-to-place condition. Bow has tiny nylon spacer between hand and bow to ensure tight fit. Diana's withdrawn arm had a slight gap in the casting seam that we tightened in-house - this should remain healed indefinitely as long as it is not handled or placed under pressure.
