Outsider Art

There are two cracks on the feet of the duck, within the composite material that is used. There are also two small cracks at the top of the legs. All cracks are a 1/2 to less than an inch long. The composite is a wood putty of some kind. The white paint that is used over the figure is now dingy from age, and is slighty gray in spots. There is paint and wood loss around the circumference of the circular base, with all loss not more than a 1/4 in square, occuring approximately 10 times. There is crazing of the green paint on the base in a 3 square in section.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition.
